Idea to send:	Topic Shortage of Clinical Laboratory Scientists Content Currently laboratory technologists receive their hospital laboratory training when one college has affiliations with one or more hospitals. Not enough hospitals participate. I believe that there are many experienced laboratory technologists who like to teach and train. They could make themselves known in a statewide registry and be matched with a college clinical laboratory student who needs an internship. The affiliation agreements could be made to cover all hospital settings. I also believe that the hospitals and colleges should compensate those willing to mentor and be truly great teachers in the hospital laboratory. Our profession trains so much differently than nurses, but because we are fewer in numbers, our voices are rarely heard, until there is a shortage. There is a shortage.
