Your clinical experience is likely to be the first time that you come into contact at a professional level with actual patients and clients of the laboratory. The population which you will be serving is likely to be somewhat more diverse than the students at Ferris State University or the population of your hometown.
We expect you to remember that each person with whom you interact as part of your responsibilities has inherent worth as a human being. You are expected to honor each person's dignity, and to respect their rights to privacy and their rights to their own religious and political beliefs and observations. Each patient or client also has the right to be informed about what is being done to him, and the right to expect his or her laboratory test results will remain confidential.
Each laboratory will have a policy that covers client rights, and your responsibilities to protect those rights. We encourage you to become familiar with and to observe these policies.
