Step-by-step explanation:

The only difference between a medical technologist and a clinical laboratory scientist is the actual job title. These two professions involve the same exact training, job duties and credentials. The only true difference is what job title an employer chooses to use.

They both work in the lab and perform tests on biological samples, however, a medical lab scientist typically has more education and is able to perform more involved lab work. A medical lab technician performs more of the routine lab work and is often supervised by a medical lab scientist.
