Speaker: Lorenne Friesen, MLT

I work as a Senior Technologist in Hematology and Transfusion Medicine in a rural lab in Manitoba. I have been a member with CSMLS for 10 years. I graduated from RRC from Medical Laboratory Science in 2010. I enjoy advocating for our profession and tell as many people as I can to join us; our profession is in such high demand. I have previous experience explaining to the public about MLTs speaking to high school students, participating in job-shadowing experiences, as well as participating in children's events setting up a booth to explain who we are and what we do. Our job is such an important role in the health care system.

Learner Feedback

"Good sharing of personal emotion, experience, and display of vulnerability - showed me more evidence of the fact we are all human and hurt deep inside."
"Very helpful to see we are not alone. No matter what profession. It is good, especially in healthcare, to accept that mental health is real and should not go ignored. I will recommend it to my colleagues."
"The material is presented in an open and honest way that really impacts how one perceives and understands mental health. It reinforces that we are all human and that you don't have to cope all by yourself."
"Thank you for not being afraid to cry. It really meant a lot to hear the emotion from sharing the story of [the presenter’s] journey. Thank you!"
