Our Curriculum

Our academic curriculum is built to prepare students for the essential role that Medical Laboratory Scientists play in providing health care teams with the vital information they need to monitor patients’ overall health, as well as diagnose, treat and manage their illnesses.

Interprofessional collaborative practices and education are the cornerstone of the program curriculum, promoting team-based care. Students learn how to work meaningfully, directly and efficiently with all members of a patient’s care team in a variety of environments, ensuring that “the right test on the right person at the right time” is ordered.

The MLS program regularly innovates and validates the selection and content of our curriculum, based on the latest educational research and needs of the profession.

Recognizing best practices for adult learning, we developed an innovative curriculum, which includes the optimal combination of state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, active learning student engagement, laboratory simulations, and online learning. Providing recorded lectures online enables our students to access them as often as they wish for study and review.
