Popis: Thank you for the Forum article by Kaplan and Burgess in February Microbe discussing alarming workforce shortages in the diagnostic laboratories of the United States (Microbe, February 2011, p. 52). The writers are correct—it is critical to improve the visibility of clinical lab careers among teachers, youngsters, and the general public. However, it is disturbing that, were there to be a big influx of potential students, we could not handle them. The laboratory community needs to address the diminished capacity and vibrancy of educational programs, many of which were closed in recent decades.
