Medical Laboratory Science is a sometimes unappreciated and underpaid profession. Especially because most people are not even aware of the profession. Some people also think that this career is mediocre and not glamorous. In this episode, Princess Chinelo explains why she believes medical laboratory science should not be thought of as less than medicine.

In this episode, we discuss whether students who applied for medicine should be allowed to automatically get into medical laboratory science. We're joined by Idris Tajudeen, a current medical laboratory student who has some strong opinions on this topic. He also shares the story of how he ended up in medical laboratory science.

Here's interesting news: laboratory waste doesn't need to involve management.

While many companies are implementing new policies and procedures for laboratory waste, it's important to remember that the lab is the place where laboratory professionals work. We as laboratory professionals need to deal with lab waste efficiently to better protect ourselves.

We know that you're working hard to keep your lab running smoothly, but how much time do you spend thinking about your lab's waste? 

As a scientist, and using his past military experience, Jeffery Couchot creates tools and processes to help scientists be more efficient in the laboratory.   

These tools can be physical or digital in nature and all have the aim to allow his team to be quick and accurate in their analysis, so that the highest-quality results can be delivered to patients.

You may have heard the stories of babies who were born with HIV and didn't get tested until they were 18 months old—and then found out they had been infected for over a year. What could have been done? We discuss that during this episode.

Sickle Cell Anemia is a disease you don't hear about often, but it affects over 100,000 people in the US and millions of people around the world. 

If you haven't heard of Sickle Cell Anemia before, you're not alone. Like many rare diseases, it's not widely recognized as an important public health concern. But if you know someone with sickle cell anemia, you can help by raising awareness about this disease and fighting for more research funding for adults with the condition.

It's a genetic condition that causes red blood cells to become rigid and sticky, which can lead to life-threatening complications like anemia and stroke.

We need more research on how adults with Sickle Cell Anemia are impacted by their disease as they age. We also need more studies on how women with Sickle Cell Anemia handle pregnancy and childbirth—and how that impacts their children's health!

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to public health. It is an alarming increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. For example, a study published in June 2022 in the Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance found that strains of E.coli resistant to colistin—an antibiotic considered as last resort because it was once reserved for only life-threatening infections—have spread globally.

What is antibiotic resistance testing?

Antibiotic resistance testing is a process that evaluates whether bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics. These types of tests can determine whether the bacteria causing an infection are resistant to certain medications, helping doctors prescribe the right treatment(s).

In this episode of the RoK diagnostics podcast, we discuss antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Molecular techniques are growing by leaps and bounds, and the market is ripe for disruption.   

The advent of COVID has created many new opportunities for companies that are looking to deliver faster and more accurate results. As we move into the future of medicine, we need to ask: What does this mean for our industry?  

In this episode we sit down with Elijah Onyimi to tackle this question and more.

It is good to pursue opportunities abroad. However, is it practical to leave your country? The answer lies in the life you desire and what you are willing to sacrifice.

There are many reasons why people choose to live abroad. Some go because they want to work in a country with a better economy so they can earn more money and have a better standard of living. Others go because they want a change of pace or scenery from their lives back home. While this is understandable, you should note that there are also some downsides to living abroad that people need to consider before making any decisions about moving away from home.

In the latest episode of the RoK diagnostics podcast I sit down with Felicitas Uwa to discuss opportunities for Medical laboratory professionals in the united arab emirates and the pitfalls to be wary of.

Do you know your core skill set as a medical professional? What about your core values? If you don’t, that may be the reason you feel stuck.  As a medical laboratory worker, you can do so many things. You can manage and run a lab, develop new tests, perform research and publish papers, teach others in your field, or even consult with other companies on how to improve their own operations. But at the end of the day, you are not just a generalist—you are also an expert in one or more specific areas.  This week, we sit down with a Lona Small, medical professional who now specializes in helping others determine their core skill set and core values so they can better advance their careers and their lives. Listen to this discussion. It might enlighten you if you are in need of some direction.

Urinalysis is one of the most important, and least talked about, parts of a health checkup.  It can tell you whether you've got blood in your urine, or if you're dehydrated. It can tell you if you're retaining too much water, or if you have a urinary tract infection. It can tell you if your kidneys are working properly and it can even tell your doctor whether or not you've been taking your current medication—which is especially important for patients who take drugs for their high blood pressure or diabetes.  

In this episode of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, Medical Laboratory Scientist Stephen Arinze explains why our urine needs to be tested routinely.

A veterinary clinic is filled with the sounds of dogs and cats, but there's one sound that's not quite so commonly associated with it: the rumble of a centrifuge. Most people associate centrifuges with human labs and hospitals, but they're also needed in veterinary clinics around the world, making it easier for veterinarians to provide more accurate diagnoses for their animal patients.

It's a new era for animal-human health. In an era where zoonoses are more relevant than ever, the way we think about the relationship between our pets and ourselves has never been more important.

In this week of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, we discuss how medical laboratory scientists could help in the veterinary field.

Quality management systems in med lab science have become a necessity in the medical industry, especially in Africa where the need for quality and standardized tests is at its peak. But are we ready yet?

In this weeks episode of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, we sit down with Christian Etuka to discuss his views on this issue.

Politics is often a dirty word, but it's also one of the most important things we can do to change the world. And if you're a laboratory scientist, you have responsibility to both yourself and your patients to get involved.  In this episode, we sit down with Freedom Nkwocha to discuss why.  --- TAKE ACTION Share this video with all your colleagues.  --- SOCIAL MEDIA Follow us on Linkedin @rokdiagnostics ---CONTACT podcast@rokdiagnostics.com  --- ABOUT US We offer tools and tips to make you more effective and less stressed biomedical scientists.

Medical laboratory scientists are the people who help doctors diagnose diseases by testing samples of blood, urine, or other bodily fluids. They also help identify drug-resistant bacteria and viruses that can't be treated with traditional antibiotics. These scientists are critical to our healthcare system and help save lives every day.   

But is their job boring?  

In this episode, Ifeoluwa Ayodele shares his views on medical laboratory science and research as fields of work.

We think we deserve a wage raise because of all the hard work we do. We are proud of what we do and would like our employers to show how much our work is appreciated. When it comes down to it, though, how can we go about getting a wage increase?

In this episode of the RoK diagnostics podcast, Daberechi Ikegwoha gives us some ideas.

In this episode of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, we sit down with Ekene Mbachu, who believes automation is good for the medical laboratory. He will share his thoughts on how to upscale automation in Nigeria and why it's important for laboratories to embrace modern technology.

Medical laboratory scientists are often thought of as people who spend their days in a lab, working on the bench, but there are many opportunities for medical laboratory scientists away from these benches.  

In fact, some of the most interesting opportunities for medical laboratory scientists are outside of the clinical lab. You can work in research and development, veterinary biology and even lab equipment maintenance; you have all sorts of opportunities for diversification and advancement.  

If you're an MLS or MLT in Nigeria and want to know more about what opportunities you may have for diversification within the field, follow this discussion with a Nigerian Medical Laboratory Scientist, Jesse Buba.

Medical laboratory automation is one of the most important trends in the field of health care right now. Technology helps medical laboratory scientists, doctors and other medical professionals perform tests more quickly, accurately, and efficiently than they could if they were performing them manually.

In this podcast episode, we sit down with Scientist Progress Promise-Birah to discuss the state of medical laboratory automation in Nigeria.

In this episode we sit down with Ogunsile Abiodun to discuss antimicrobial resistance, how it may affect Africa in the future and why we need to pay very close attention to this threat.

In this episode, Sorie bangoura explains his experience as  a medical laboratory student turned expert in Sierra Leone.  We go over the mentality it takes to eb a good medical laboratory scientist, how to cope with some of the stressful aspects of the job, what things are like specifically in Sierra Leone and also why it may important to increase discussions between national medical laboratory science associations on the African continent.

In the latest episode of the RoK Diagnostics podcast, Supply Chain Specialist Hugues Lokossa helps us go over the importance of supply chain management in the healthcare sector and how you could learn more about this field if you would like to advance your career or are particularly interested in supply chain management.

We give our quick take on coronavirus in Africa. There seems to have been a lower number of infections on the continent.
No one knows exactly why, but coronavirus lockdowns were not done for example in the country we are in, Benin.
We go over that and explain why that was probably the best decision in our specific context. We also discuss some of the reasons why we may have had a lower number of cases.
