Medical Laboratory Science Program at Salisbury University
 Welcome to the home page of the Medical Laboratory Science Program
at Salisbury University! Medical lab scientists have been called
the “unsung heroes” of health care because few patients or members
of the public ever get to see what happens in a diagnostic clinical
laboratory. However, excellent jobs and exciting careers await students
who decide to major in medical laboratory science.
Medical Laboratory
Science is a branch of medicine dealing with laboratory analyses
used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of disease as well
as in the maintenance of health. Medical Lab oratory Scientists,
also called clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists,
are nationally recognized as individuals possessing a baccalaureate
degree who have received education and clinical training (via internships)
in chemical and biological testing related to health and human disease.
Designed to follow prerequisite courses in basic science areas such
as biology and chemistry, professional courses in Medical Laboratory
Science programs are upper level baccalaureate courses and clinical
training experiences. Following completion of the program, graduates
are eligible to take national certification examinations which are
necessary for employment in the most clinical laboratory settings.
At the link below, an excellent video describes some of the important
roles played by medical laboratory professionals in health care
and it may help you decide if this is the career for you.
The faculty of the MLS program will be delighted to answer your questions about
the program at Salisbury University.
