Purpose of the meeting
The Board of Health Professions is conducting a study in response to a request from Delegate John O’Bannon into the need to regulate medical laboratory scientists and medical laboratory technicians. A hearing to receive comment is scheduled for July 16, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. in Board Room #3.
