The LabOpp Global Leaders podcast is a series of conversations about Careers, the Lab Industry, Training, and People.

In this episode, we meet Aloyce Urassa. You may have come across him under one of the multitudes of different roles he plays. Health advocate, youth leader, social entrepreneur, mentor, and medical laboratory science intern… Perhaps you came across him exchanging with African Heads of State at the recent African Union Summit? Or maybe it was when his social enterprise was delivering much-needed medical products to your clinic? Then again, it could have also been as a leader and trainer mentoring the youth to impact their communities. You really can find him in all these situations and many more.

In this interview, Aloyce reviews how the medical laboratory science degree contributed to his extra-curricular success. In particular, he shares with us his advice for leveraging volunteer opportunities, educates us on the great work being accomplished by ALMA, and identifies the key benefits of a medical laboratory science education.

If you would like to get in touch with Aloyce, you can find him on LinkedIn.
