Letter to the Editor: Response to article 'Who is educating the future of Medical Laboratory Scientists? A perspective of AIMS accredited MLS programs in Australia'
Journal Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
[Extract] To the Editor, We are writing regarding the article “Who is educating our future Medical Laboratory Scientists? A perspective of AIMS accredited Medical Laboratory Science programs in Australia”, published in the May & August edition (Vol. 43, 2022) of the Australian Journal of Medical Science (AJMS). As a group, we have taken time to consider the findings of this study and commend the authors for attempting to answer important questions for the profession. However as some of the academics responsible for the education of our future medical laboratory scientists (MLS), we are deeply concerned about the study design and misleading conclusions made. We feel that the findings present academics teaching into MLS programs in a negative light and may lead to concerns for employers (of our graduates), other medical scientists, recent graduates and current and potential students, about who is teaching our future MLS and the quality of university education provided by AIMS accredited undergraduate Medical Laboratory Science and Laboratory Medicine programs.
