Academic rank and salary status of medical laboratory sciences faculty.

The combined emergence of medical laboratory science as a body of knowledge and the emphasis of decreasing the use of health care funds for education have occasioned the development of medical technology programs as academic programs and the employment of qualified laboratory practitioners in university faculty positions. Establishment and maintenance of strong educational programs in the university setting requires that faculty salaries compare favorably with those available in clinical practice and that faculty members meet their institutions's criteria for appointment/promotion at each academic rank. Twenty institutions of higher education with medical technology programs organized as academic departments were surveyed in 1978 and 1980 to determine faculty size, salaries by rank and increases over two years, and criteria for appointment/promotion at each academic rank. Salary data are compared with clinical practice and with other academic disciplines. Data presented will be of value to existing and planned programs and to individuals considering an academic position.

Career planning of medical laboratory science students.

The purpose of this study was to determine the most influential people in the career choices of medical laboratory science students. Methods of investigation used by these students were also explored. A questionnaire survey indicated that students were influenced more by professionals in the field, and that high-school guidance counselors were unable to furnish current and accurate information for decision making. Results of the study have implications for improvements in all areas of guidance. Based on the findings, the best interests of the students are served when both guidance counselors and professionals in the medical laboratory science field provide students with understanding, encouragement, and factual information.

Uniform admissions system for a medical laboratory sciences program.

A system for selection of medical technology students has been developed that features numerical ranking of applicants according to a uniform point system. Each applicant is quantitatively evaluated on achievement of academic and non-academic criteria identified as predictors of success in the student program and in clinical practice. This admissions system has been statistically evaluated by comparing admissions data for 59 graduates with subsequent measures of success during the program and in their first professional employment. The academic and non-academic predictors used in this system describe separate sets of applicant characteristics and appear to be effective as predictors of success. Academic and non-academic predictors are found to function independently of each other as predictors of success in the academic aspects of the program and in the clinical, non-cognitive aspects of both the student program and subsequent professional practice, respectively.
