Monica loves the format | |||
of the medical laboratory | |||
science major, which |
includes a professional and clinical practicum at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore.“ Our courses teach us not only material but techniques as well. In our classes we |
MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE Bachelor of Science
|
learn an extensive amount |
|||
of medical information, but it is always followed up in labs that same week, where we cover the lecture material again with handson training.” |
The bachelor’ s program in medical laboratory science combines biology and chemistry with medicine and clinical sciences to prepare students for an exciting career in laboratory medicine. Medical laboratory scientists play a key role in the healthcare team by providing the laboratory test results that assist physicians in patient diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance of overall health. |
