You like the idea of saving lives and helping people to enjoy a better quality of life. You value accuracy and attention to detail, and your inquisitive nature is always driving you to learn more and find the best possible solution for each problem you encounter. All of this means that you might be well-suited to a career in clinical science.

Clinical scientists (also known as medical laboratory scientists) analyse samples in order to help doctors diagnose patients and identify the best course of treatment. Most clinical scientists work in laboratories, where they use microscopes and other types of equipment to analyse blood, skin, urine, spinal fluid and other samples.

If you have an analytical mind and a passion for helping people, clinical science may be the perfect field for you.
