Q: Can I only use LabScheduler for technologists?
A: No, LabScheduler can be used to schedule anyone in a laboratory environment, including technicians, phlebotomists, and clerical staff.

A simple phone consultation with Medical Automation Systems can determine whether or not an individual department or group of employees is a good candidate for the program.
