St.
John's Mercy School of Clinical Laboratory Science
The
clinical laboratory scientist functions as a crucial member of the healthcare
team. This laboratory professional performs tests which assist the physician
in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Our CLS program
provides education in all areas of the clinical laboratory – Blood Bank,
Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology, Microbiology and Molecular Diagnostics.
Someone who wants to help
people by being a medical detective behind the scenes will find the career
very gratifying. The ideal candidate has a talent
for the biological sciences and medicine at the university level. An
individual who enjoys solving problems, performing accurate and reliable laboratory
tests, interpreting data, correlating test results with potential diseases,
managing detailed information, developing and evaluating new tests, and communicating
with other members of the healthcare team would prove to be successful in the
profession.
