Clinical Laboratory



A Clinical laboratory is staffed by clinical pathologists, clinical laboratory scientists, medical laboratory technicians and support personnel, all of whom help the clinical laboratory play a vital role across the entire continuum of health care. Clinical laboratory testing has a major effect on clinical decision making by providing physicians, nurses and other health care providers with important information that is needed for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of disease. Nearly every practicing physician depends upon a physician laboratory and clinical laboratory for the care of his or her patient.   A comprehensive and practical resource for physicians, laboratory professionals, and patients, ClinLab Navigator.com offers hundreds of up-to-date clinical laboratory test interpretations, test utilization algorithms, and transfusion guidelines using our article download service and affordable subscription plans.

Registration is free and allows users access to all content on the site, as well as informative monthly newsletters, regular updates, and enabling users to submit questions to the Q&A section.

In addition, an exciting new ClinLab Navigator app is available for iPhone or iPad, allowing users to have access to important information at their fingertips. Other apps are under development.
