you should begin with an associate's degree program that typically takes one to two years to complete. It may begin by introducing students to medical laboratory equipment and data analysis and require students to take courses in biochemistry and microbiology. Students may learn proper use of lab equipment to search for problems with samples, techniques for examining bodily fluids and also participate in clinical practicums, which may include on-the-job training. Students will be eligible to earn certifications

doing and how. I don’t feel like they explained how as much as what they were doing. Understanding what they were meaning took extra research to clarify meanings to the type of research and the components to what they were researching. Also the microbiology components and the different types of cells, are unknown areas of knowledge to me. So again it took some extra research and definitions to understand exactly what they may have been talking about and the different processes to the components that

INTRODUCTION Microorganisms are used extensively to provide a vast range of products and services. They have proved to be particularly useful because of the ease of their mass cultivation, speed of growth, use of cheap substrates (which in many cases are wastes) and the diversity of potential products. Their ability to readily undergo genetic manipulation has also opened up almost limitless further possibilities for new products and services from the fermentation industries (Trevor Palmor, 2004)
