title: [Certifying examination which college of laboratory medicine of Japan is sponsoring].
abstract: Becoming a Medical Technologist capable of contributing to the clinical field requires an ability to keep up with rapid advances in the field of medicine, as well as the diligence to constantly keep abreast of new discoveries and technologies. To this end, one should forge a social identity as a Medical Technologist, thereby bringing more esteem to the profession. Moreover, applying knowledge of medical laboratory work to not only medicine but also other fields is linked with maintaining and improving public health, which is an important objective for the Medical Technologist. In society, the various certifications held by such Medical Technologists are acquired as part of a lifelong learning process and not only lead to individual advancement but also, presumably, business expansion through the application of prodigious knowledge and skills.
