مستخلص: The article discusses a shortage of medical laboratory technicians in the U.S. According to the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), job-vacancy rates in some states exceed 50%. ASCP president Barbara McKenna observes that one obstacle to recruiting students to the field is compensation. Although technicians require an education comparable to that of nurses, they aren't paid as much.
