医学化验学

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's medical laboratory sciences program develops the knowledge and technical skills needed to understand, perform and evaluate tests and procedures carried out in hospitals, 诊所及化验所. Our 3+1 bachelor's degree and 4+1 dual degree options prepare students for rewarding careers in this growing field.

Meet the Demand for Qualified Professionals

我们的3+1选项通向B.S. in medical laboratory sciences includes three years of coursework at 亚洲博彩平台排名, followed by a 15-month clinical placement at an affiliated hospital. The 4+1 dual-degree option is designed for students who are completing their B.S. 在生物学中 at 亚洲博彩平台排名 and wish to pursue the B.S. in medical laboratory sciences following completion of the biology program.

Entrance requirements include six prerequisite courses (which fulfill the required electives for the B.S. (生物学),累积绩点2分.5分,平均绩点2分.在科学和数学课程上.

Both programs are designed to address the nationwide shortage of health care professionals who are qualified in medical laboratory sciences. Students who successfully complete the required coursework and clinical placement are eligible to sit for the American Society for Clinical Pathology's national certification exam to become a medical laboratory scientist.

项目关注的焦点: Clinical Placement

医学检验科学

The 15-month clinical placement provides the academic and practical experiences necessary to attain entry-level competency in the practice field.

Throughout their clinical placement, students receive didactic and clinical rotation experience in the areas of 微生物学, 血液学, 凝固, 验尿, 化学, 免疫血液学, 免疫学和分子生物学. They also have opportunities to develop supervisory and management skills.

没有药膏的生活

Medical laboratory science is a profession in demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of medical laboratory scientists is projected to grow 12% through 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.

Students who earn the degree in medical laboratory sciences can pursue a variety of specialties, 包括临床化学, cytotechnology, 血液学, 组织相容性, 免疫血液学, 免疫学, laboratory product development and sales, 微生物学, 分子生物学, 分子诊断, 真菌学, 寄生虫学和尿液分析.

Possible employers include hospitals, 公营及私营化验所, pharmaceutical and chemical companies, 研究和法医实验室, 兽医诊所, 移植和献血中心, 生育诊所, 学院和大学.

 This is a great program if you love helping people and want to be involved in the medical field. You don’t have to work in a hospital - you could work in a small doctor’s office, or for a large corporation like a pharmaceutical company, 或者在公共卫生领域. This is a great clinical career and it can help you move to other careers if need be, like becoming involved in administration or becoming a doctor. I would definitely recommend this program to aspiring students who want to learn about human biology while helping others in a clinical setting.
