- Summary:
-
Questionnaires concerning the nature of work performed and the work setting, plans for continuing formal education, and opinions regarding the relevancy of training received were sent to all individuals (3,282) certified by the Board of Certified Laboratory Assistants (CLA's) since certification began in 1965. Some findings from the 970 returned questionnaires were: (1) There was wide divergence in the utilization of CLAs; duties reach such unexpected areas as teaching, supervision, and X-ray and radioisotope work, (2) A surprising amount of independent operation was reported; 10 were in charge of their laboratories and a considerable number received only minimum supervision, (3) CLA training as outlined in the "Guide Book for Approved Schools of Certified Laboratory Assistants" was generally considered at least adequate, (4) The interest in continuing education was high, and (5) Some personnel who had studied and worked in the armed forces had evidently received a longer period of training than graduates of Certified Laboratory Assistant schools and wanted responsibility above the level of the CLA.
