title: Creating a future laboratory workforce: a California group's success.
abstract: In early 2001, a small group of hospital lab administrators, educators, and hospital council and health occupations leaders in the South San Francisco Bay Area, seeing no end to the area's laboratory workforce shortage, developed an ambitious plan to increase the number of clinical laboratory scientists (CLSs). Here is how they convinced administrators from 15 area hospitals to fund it.
