MLS Shortage

Should I add a section mentioning the medical laboratory scientist/technician shortage in America? It's becoming a big modern issue. --Kdixon11 (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Added Laboratory Shortage

I did add a section on the laboratory shortage. Anyone is welcome to read it as I would love some feedback! There is a section on the shortage on the "Medical Laboratory" wiki page, so I thought it would be beneficial to add a section on the page of the professional field itself. --Kdixon11 (talk) 14:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
