Clinical Laboratory Scientist Training

The study of new and upcoming technologies such as immunogenetics, Flow Cytometry and/or Molecular Diagnostics. Study and learn laboratory techniques in new technologies such as: Immunogenetics – the branch of immunology that deals with the molecular and genetic bases of the immune responses and specialized human leukocyte antigen testing, often focusing on the needs of transplant patients. Flow Cytometry - a laser-based, biophysical technology employed in cell counting, cell sorting, and biomarker detection. Cells are suspended in a stream of fluid and passed through an electronic...

The study of protein and chemical constituents present in blood and body fluids, their analytical methods of measurement, and correlation of clinical laboratory data with the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Rotations through automated and specialized labs include Chemistry, Special Chemistry, Urinalysis, Phlebotomy and Processing, Point of Care and Toxicology. Experience with a wide scope of sophisticated automated, semi-automated, and manual analytical processes are included, with a working emphasis on operation, maintenance and troubleshooting. Emphasis is also placed on definitions...
