Clinical Laboratory Technology - CLAB(formerly Medical Laboratory Technology) Flanagan Campus |
Tremendous advances in modern medicine have resulted in an ever increasing demand for diagnostic laboratory tests, and the complexity of laboratory sciences today requires a highly trained technician to carry out these intricate analyses. The Clinical Laboratory Technician Program prepares the student to enter this interesting and rewarding field.
This program provides the didactic and laboratory preparation required for a student to work under supervision in a hospital or a public or private health laboratory, performing a wide variety of blood, chemical, microbiological, immunological and other clinical laboratory tests. The student undertakes three semesters of preparation at the Community College and two semesters at an affiliated site where clinical practices are performed under the supervision of qualified, registered, professional personnel. The techniques of the operation, care and maintenance of the latest equipment are emphasized throughout the clinical and academic experiences.
This program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (8410 West Bryn Mawr Ave./Suite 670, Chicago, IL 60631, 773.714.8880.) Upon successful completion of this program, the student receives an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree and is eligible to take a national certification exam for CLT given by recognized agencies. CLTs are licensed in the State of Rhode Island.
