Clinical Laboratory Science Program
The Clinical Laboratory Science Program is a nine-month clinical practicum completed at Sacred Heart Hospital through an affiliated university baccalaureate degree program in Medical Technology or Clinical Laboratory Science. The practicum provides professional education by laboratory professionals and physicians, including didactic and clinical laboratory experiences. The program seeks to instill students with professional attitudes, leadership skills, technical expertise, and a dedication to the field of Clinical Laboratory Science. Sacred Heart Hospital’s Clinical Laboratory Science Program accepts four students annually for the clinical practicum that begins the first week in September and continues through the end of May.
