National Medical Laboratory Week 2018, also known as Lab Week, is one campaign that The Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) energetically promotes to inspire lab professionals to share their professional lives with the public. This year, Lab Week is from April 22-28.
The Objective Lens is the official podcast produced by the CSMLS. In this podcast, industry experts discuss life in the medical laboratory and provide insight into the issues that are important to the people who work in them.

Each episode aims to help lab professionals navigate their daily work lives by equipping them with a practical toolkit. This season, episodes have included providing people with traditional and alternative tools to grow public science literacy, improve intraprofessional communication and develop strategies to foster top talent in the health care system.
In this week’s episode (ep. #17), you’ll even hear our very own Rob Romans chat about working with hospital customers and the one and only Dr. Dana Devine talking about research at Canadian Blood Services.
As the professional society for medical laboratory professionals in Canada, the CSMLS is committed to ensuring the lab community thrives in an ever-changing industry. To do this, the CSMLS encourages its members to actively participate in the advocacy of their profession.
A great way to spread awareness of the national lab community during Lab Week is to spread the word about The Objective Lens podcast.
Be sure to give The Objective Lens a listen. You can find the podcast on the CSMLS website, iTunes and Google Play. If you like what you hear, don’t forget to subscribe, like or rate the podcast. The more you show your appreciation for it, the more new listeners will be able to find it and learn from it. You can also connect with @csmls on Twitter and Facebook.
