医学检验科学理学学士

医学实验室的科学家对血液和体液进行实验室分析。然后，他们使用分析结果来协助医生诊断，治疗，监测和预防疾病。作为犹他大学医学实验室科学（MLS）的学生，您将获得在现代诊断医学实验室工作所需的知识和技术技能。MLS课程由美国国家临床检验科学认证机构（NAACLS）认证，包括临床化学，微生物学，免疫学，免疫血液学和血液学课程。这些概念在该地区医学实验室的临床经验轮换中进一步根深蒂固。MLS专业的学生可以选择将其研究重点放在细胞技术或癌症的细胞研究上。无论重点领域如何，学生都将学习如何收集，处理和分析生物样本，执
Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) perform laboratory analyses on blood and body fluids. Results of these analyses are used by physicians in diagnosing, treating, monitoring, and preventing diseases. As a Medical Laboratory Science student at the University of Utah, you will gain the knowledge and technical skills needed to work in a modern diagnostic laboratory. Accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), the MLS curriculum consists of courses in urinalysis, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, immunohematology (blood banking), hematology, laboratory operations, molecular diagnostics, education, and research design. Students will learn appropriate procedures to collect, process, and analyze biological specimens, to properly maintain laboratory equipment and instruments, and to support health care providers in the interpretation of laboratory findings. Skills and knowledge obtained in the first year of professional coursework are further developed through clinical rotations in local clinical laboratories during the final year of study. Graduates of this exciting program are prepared for a number of careers in science and medicine that make a difference in the lives of others.<br><br>Graduates of the MLS program are well-prepared for a career as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, but may also choose to work in industry, research, public health, forensics, etc. With additional education at the graduate level, students can become university professors, administrators, or researchers, making groundbreaking discoveries in their field.
