한국, 일본, 미국 임상병리사 전문자격 = Professional Certification of Medical Technologists in Korea, Japan, and United States of America

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The names of medical technologist in Korea, Japan, and the United State of America vary depending on the medical system, educational system, and work areas. Conventionally, jobs equal or similar to medical technologist (commonly known as clinical laboratory technologist, medical laboratory technologist, clinical laboratory scientist, and medical laboratory scientist), histotechnologist, cytotechnologist, and genetic technologist. Jobs, such as extracorporeal technologist, medical electrophysiology technologist, and medical sonographer, allow other allied health professionals including medical technologists, to obtain their qualification. The work areas of medical technologists are classified into clinical pathologic technology, pathologic technology, clinical genetics technology, nuclear medicine in vitro technology, and clinical physiologic technology. New titles of Korean specialized medical technologists refer to certification systems, such as CLMJ, CMAJ, ASCP, IAC, ABRET, and ARMDS. Currently, there are eight types of specialized medical technologists under the cooperation of specialized academic societies. They are hematology, transfusionology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, histology, cytology, nuclear medicine. It can be further divided into 20 categories according to the work areas such as mass spectrometry, infection control, Pathologists’ Assistant, flow cytometry, HLA, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, cardiopulmonary physiology, neurophysiology (EEG/EMG/PSG/etc.), cardiac sonography, neurosonography (TCD/carotid), and medical device quality manager.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

우리나라, 일본, 미국의 임상병리사 명칭은 의료체계, 교육제도, 업무영역에 따라 차이가 있다. 전통적으로 medical technologist (별칭 clinical laboratory technologist, medical laboratory technologist, clinical laboratory scientist, medical laboratory scientist)와 동등하거나 유사한 직종은histotechnologist, cytotechnologist, genetic technologist 이다. Extracorporeal technologist, medical electrophysiology technologist, medical sonographer는 medical technologist를 포함한 다른 보건의료인도 자격을 취득할 수 있는 직종이다. 임상병리사의 업무영역은 임상병리기술학, 병리기술학, 임상유전기술학, 핵의학기술학, 임상생리기술학으로분류하였다. 새로운 전문임상병리사 종별은 CLMJ, CMAJ, ASCP, IAC, ABRET, ARMDS 등의 자격인정제도를 참고하였다. 현재 전문임상병리사 종별은 전문과목학회의 협조 하에 기존의 8종으로 혈액학, 수혈학, 화학, 면역학, 미생물학, 조직학, 세포학, 핵의학분야가 있으며 앞으로 미세질량분석, 감염관리, Pathologists’ Assistant, 유세포분석, HLA, 세포유전학, 분자유전학, 심폐생리학, 신경생리학(뇌파/근전도/수면다원 등), 심장초음파학, 신경초음파학(뇌혈류/경동맥), 기기품질관리사등 업무영역별로 20종으로 세분화할 수 있다.
