在这里学什么？

The Medical Laboratory Science program prepares students for an exciting career, for which employment prospects are significant. The UB Medical Laboratory Science program has achieved national accreditation through the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

What is Medical Laboratory Science?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines Medical Laboratory Science as follows: Clinical laboratory testing plays a crucial role in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Clinical laboratory technologists, also referred to as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists, and clinical laboratory technicians, also known as medical technicians or medical laboratory technicians, perform most of these tests.

A Career with Varied Work

The work is exciting and demanding! As a student in the Medical Laboratory Science program, you will learn how to examine and analyze body fluids and cells from normal and diseased patients. You will look for bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms, analyze the chemical content of blood and body fluids, match blood for transfusions and test for drug levels in the blood that show how a patient is responding to treatment. Laboratory Scientists also prepare specimens for examination, count cells, and look for abnormal cells in blood and body fluids. They use microscopes, cell counters, run analyzers, and other sophisticated laboratory equipment. They use automated equipment and computerized instruments capable of performing a number of tests simultaneously. After testing and examining a specimen, laboratory scientists analyze the results, make decisions around the quality of the specimen and validity of results and then relay those results to physicians as part of the patient care team.
