Clinical Laboratory Science
Clinical laboratory scientists (also known as medical technologists) are the “medical detectives” of health care, identifying diseases by examining body fluids, tissues and cells. They perform complex laboratory tests, analyze results and discuss the findings with a physician. Clinical laboratory scientists may also develop, modify and monitor procedures and programs to ensure the accuracy of tests.
Clinical laboratory scientists work in hospitals, clinics, laboratories and research centers. This program also provides opportunities to gain professional experience in the field before going to graduate or professional school in health sciences.
Consider this program if you:
- Have an interest in laboratory science
- Have strong analytical skills
This is a four-year program with three years of prerequisites and one year of professional studies. The one-year professional program includes summer, fall and winter semesters.
