Emang sih profesi bernama analis kesehatan ini kurang familiar, ga kayak profesi kesehatan lainnya seperti dokter atau perawat atau bidan. wanna know more? just check this out!!

Protective masks, gloves, and goggles often are necessary to ensure the safety of laboratory personnel. 

Medical laboratory technologists do the following:

• Analyze body fluids such as blood, urine, and tissue samples to determine normal or abnormal findings
• Collect and study blood samples for use in transfusions by identifying the number of cells, the cell morphology or the blood group, blood type, and compatibility with other blood types
• Operate sophisticated laboratory equipment such as microscopes and cell counters
• Use automated equipment and computerized instruments capable of performing a number of tests at the same time
• Log data from medical tests and enter results into a patient’s medical record
• Discuss results and findings of laboratory tests and procedures with physicians
• Supervise or train medical laboratory technicians.  

medical laboratory technologists in small laboratories perform many types of tests; in large laboratories, they generally specialize. The following are examples of types of specialized medical laboratory technologists:

Blood bank technologists, or immunohematology technologists, collect blood, classify it by type, and prepare blood and its components for transfusions. 

Clinical chemistry technologists prepare specimens and analyze the chemical and hormonal contents of body fluids. 

Cytotechnologists prepare slides of body cells and examine these cells with a microscope for abnormalities that may signal the beginning of a cancerous growth. 

Immunology technologists examine elements of the human immune system and its response to foreign bodies. 

Microbiology technologists examine and identify bacteria and other microorganisms. 

Molecular biology technologists perform complex protein and nucleic acid tests on cell samples.

Like technologists, medical laboratory technicians may work in several areas of the laboratory or specialize in one particular area.

Phlebotomists collect blood samples.

Histotechnicians cut and stain tissue specimens for pathologists, doctors who study cause and development of diseases at a microscopic level.

Blood bank technologists, or immunohematology technologists, collect, type, and prepare blood and its components for transfusions.

yah,kurang lebih seperti ituh kerjaannya...jadi klo kita cek up di lab rumah sakit atau lab klinik yang meriksa bahan darah dan cairan tubuh lain itu disebutnya analis kesehatan ya..
so, jgn bilang "terimakasih ya sus!" soalnya bukan suster..hehehe

trus tentang prospek kerjanya..sejauh ini profesi analis kesehatan selalu dibutuhkan di berbagai Rumah sakit maupun lab klinik, bahkan banyak yg mengaku masih kekurangan tenaga Analis Kesehatan. Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi dan pengetahuan di bidang kesehatan dan juga kesadaran masyarakat yang sudah mulai tinggi untuk melakukan cek kesehatan secara rutin maka laboratorium klinik pun ikut berkembang pesat dan berdampak pada meningkatnya kebutuhan tenaga Analis kesehatan.

yuph,i think thats all enough for Medical technologist...
semoga bermanfaat dan mencerahkan yaa. XDD -LOL-
