生物技术理学学士-临床实验室科学

生物技术专业的临床实验室科学选修课（CLS）适用于喜欢从事实验室工作并考虑在医院的实验室，医师团体执业，参考实验室或行业中从事科学家职业的学生。CLS职位通常要求获得认证的人员。要获得认证，学生必须拥有理学学士学位，已完成正式的临床教育计划并通过国家考试，以证明他们将熟练掌握所学的科学。因此，CLS选项要求在附属的临床实验室科学学院学习11个月的课程。该学生在第三年秋季学期（第5学期）直接申请经认可的CLS计划。这些职位的竞争非常激烈，能否进入该计划取决于GPA，推荐信（3）和机构面试。当前的附属机构存在
The Clinical Laboratory Science Option (CLS) of the Biotechnology major is offered for students who enjoy laboratory work and who would consider a career as a scientist in the laboratory of a hospital, physician group practice, reference lab or in industry. CLS positions typically call for certified individuals. To become certified, students must possess a BS degree, have completed a formal clinical education program and pass a national test to demonstrate mastery of the sciences they will practice. Thus, the CLS option requires an 11 month period of course work at an affiliated School of Clinical Laboratory Science. The student applies directly to the accredited CLS programs during the Fall semester of their third year (Semester 5). These positions are very competitive and admission into the program depends on GPA, letters of recommendations (3), and an interview at the facility. Current affiliations exist with Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, York Hospital in York, St. Vincent Hospital in Erie and with Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, but temporary affiliations can be made for students as needed. Students will begin their senior year at the clinical programs after having completed all the basic science and general education courses of their undergraduate program.<br>Biotechnology is broadly defined as the application of principles of molecular and cell science to the production of biologically important or industrially useful products. Topics in biotechnology include genetic engineering, pharmaceutical development, and bio-manufacturing.
