[The proposal for young people who wish to become clinical laboratory physicians]

Based on my personal experiences for past 10 years, I would like to propose my plans for young physicians concerned with clinical laboratory medicine as follows: 1. Training periods (several years after graduated from medical school): Pursue your courses in the various fields of medicine including clinical activities. 2. Periods of fellowship(approximately about 35 years-old): During this period, it is recommended to go abroad for young scientist to add to your stock of knowledges and experiences. 3. Periods of devoting yourself to the work in the clinical laboratory medicine(approximately about 40 years-old): You are recommended to be self-reliant in the routine works and academic studies in the fields of laboratory medicine.
