This book has VERY brief outlines of each area of Clinical Lab Science. Unfortunately it doesn't have indepth descriptions that are necessary in order to do well on multiple choice exams. I recommend this as a supplement to Prentice Hall Q&A Review of Med Tech/CLS (#0838503403), which has very detailed descriptions.
I am the Program Director for a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) Program. I require this book for my students to use when they are doing their clinical rotations. It provides a quick, concise outline of each of the laboratory departments. My students love it for a quick review before starting each department. They also love the questions at the end of each chapter, not only does Hubbard give them the right answer but also the rationale behind the answer.
I used the first edition of this book years ago to study for my MLT exam. That edition was a wonderful tool to prepare for the registry exam. With the first edition having such a good reputation in my mind, I decided I would purchase the second edition to help prepare for the MLS exam. I was SHOCKED at how many errors are in the new edition. First off, there are typos on almost every page. These kinds of errors I could have probably lived with, but the blatant false information, I could not. The first of these I found was just a few pages into the book, where it began to discuss the electromagnetic spectrum. It stated that, "Gamma rays and x-rays have very long wavelengths..." followed by, "Violet light has the longest wavelength of the visible spectrum..." This is completely WRONG! Needless to say, errors like this one removed all my confidence in using this book as a study guide.
So I bought this book to help studying to take my ASCP exam to become a certified lab tach. I used only this book and labce.com to study for it, and I passed with a really high score. Needless to say, this book is very useful! It organizes everything you need in a great manner, and cuts out the junk that the school books cram in there. Easy to read, and the chapters are short enough to read in the thirty minutes or so before going to bed. Highly recommend it!
Good book. I studied with this book among other books and passed both the MT and the MLT(ASCP) exams. The information is not too in depth but can give the reader a good general (concise?) review of Clinical Laboratory Science.
This book is excellent for people that are in College and majoring in Hemotology or any kind of Medical Technology. I am in my fifth year of college and when I needed to get certified I used this book and it was remarkable. I couldn't believe how much I learned and how easy it was compared to other books I have read. If you need to get certified in this field this book is great.
Very informative and helpful in MT / Lab review for students and professionals alike. This second edition, hopefully is updated with the latest /current developments in lab science that is the most important part in diagnosis and treatment of patients.
A good way to review concepts after you've taken your classes. This isn't the kind of book that has theory, that's what your classes are for but to brush up after a semester or two off from a subject this is a very, surprise surprise, concise outline of the core concepts and facts that you'd encounter in the lab.I've also noticed the information is nearly word for word what labce/medialab asks on it's practice exam simulator.
