Listen Later

Today my guest is Medical Laboratory Scientist Angela Tomei Robinson

What we discuss with Angela:

  • How she first discovered the medical laboratory field
  • Some of the changes she has seen in the field throughout her career
  • Why she says "instruments" and not "machines."
  • How she became a clinical advisor for college students
  • Her role as Chair of the Professional Standards Coalition, which helped to establish licensure of lab professionals in New York
  • Why it is important for lab professionals to join professional societies
  • How writing a letter to Regis Philbin resulted in her appearing on his TV show with other laboratory staff
  • Why it's better to try and do something, than just complain and do nothing
