As a clinical specialist, you work in a medical laboratory. Your job is to help test samples or evaluate the potential benefits of a medical product. Most people in this field specialize in a specific type of test or focus on a specific medical condition. Your duties may involve analyzing fluids or other samples to test for parasites, drug use, or cell counts. While your responsibilities usually focus on performing only one or two types of tests over and over, you may collaborate with various other technicians or technologists in the laboratory.
