2018 - 2019 Clinical Laboratory Science Plan

A general statement (narrative) about what the department wants to accomplish.

For the 2018-19 academic year, it is extremely important that the college hire a full time faculty member to replace the full time person who assumed the Interim Chair position. As with all health professions, it is very important that the college continue to provide updated resources and equipment for the medical laboratory technician students, microbiology students and phlebotomy students to be successful in their professions. Technical assistance is required to maintain laboratory spaces and to set-up/breakdown laboratory exercises, maintain equipment and order necessary supplies.
