Increase MLT and Phlebotomy student numbers



Initiative TitleIncrease MLT and Phlebotomy student numbers
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

In order to increase the student numbers in the MLT program, the department must hire adequately  trained and NYS licensed faculty. The department does not currently have the faculty resources to bring in more students into the MLT program.

Having adequate staff is also a requirement of our accrediting agency, NAACLS 

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Without  adequate full time staff, increasing student numbers cannot be realized. This may impact negatively on area employers looking to hire trained employees
