The mission of the medical laboratory science program is to educate students to
function competently, creatively, responsibly, and collaboratively in a dynamic health
care environment.
The educational goals of the medical laboratory science program are to:
-
prepare competent medical laboratory scientists to function in the clinical
laboratory science field at the baccalaureate level;
- provide the student with a broad-base background to serve as a foundation for
future growth and development; and
-
prepare graduates to adapt to a changing health care environment.
The curriculum prepares graduates for entry-level practice in scientific/technical areas,
supervision/management, education, and research. It is also designed to socialize the
student to the attitudes and values of the profession; provide an overview of the legal,
ethical, economic, political, and social aspects of the profession and the health care
delivery system in general; and to instill a commitment to lifelong learning. Finally, the
curriculum is designed to develop generic skills in effective communication, problem
solving, and self-directed learning.
