(HOSPITAL DIAGNOSTICS)

Use your lab skills to help physicians diagnose and treat patients.

A clinical laboratory scientist, also called a medical technologist or medical laboratory scientist, is a vital and in-demand member of the healthcare team. These professionals perform tests on patient samples to determine the presence or absence of disease, as well as its severity and the effectiveness of treatment. 

UWL's Clinical Laboratory Science program has a track record of success. In each of the past three years, the program had a 100% job placement rate for those entering the profession.

Microorganisms impact our everyday lives.
