Our Medical Laboratory Science students have opportunities to work with local industry partners, such as Beckman-Coulter and Medtronic, to learn about instrument and medical device development.
And we were one of the first programs to place students in non-traditional clinical training sites, such as outpatient clinics, doctors’ offices, and non-traditional laboratory settings, like the Minnesota Department of Health.
Every MLS student is exposed to four different workplace environments – urban, rural, and large and small hospitals and laboratories, through our program’s clinical experience practicum. This introduces them to a variety of cultures, resources and patient populations.
