Learn to perform diagnostic tests and procedures in a clinical laboratory setting. This program will prepare you for the national certification exam.
Through classroom instruction and clinical experiences, the MLS program prepares students to perform diagnostic testing and procedures in a medical laboratory under the supervision of medical laboratory scientists and pathologists. This program teaches the four main areas of medical laboratory science; hematology, chemistry, immunohematology, and microbiology. Students must have a strong background in chemistry, biology, and math. Students will learn to work with microscopes and instruments that analyze blood samples, body fluids, tissues, and cells. Graduates have careers in hospitals, crime labs, industrial and veterinary laboratories.
Students must receive a “C” or better in all curriculum courses to satisfy graduation requirements. Upon graduation, students earn an Associate of Applied Science degree.
Graduates are eligible to apply to a national certification agency for examination and the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME) for initial state licensure. Admission for this five-semester program occurs each Fall semester. Take a look at your program courses. On campus, students participate in lecture classes and engage in a simulated clinical laboratory setting. During clinicals, students receive hands-on training with affiliated clinical sites, rotating through the four main areas of the medical laboratory. Check out our Student Handbook where you'll find all the details of our program.
The MLS program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) located at 5600 N. River road, Suite 720, Rosemont, 60018. Website: http://www.naacls.org Email: info@naccls.org Phone: 773.714.8880 Fax: 773.714.8886
