Medical Laboratory Science Program (Bachelor of Science)
Turn Your Love of Science Into an In-Demand Career
曾经做过COVID-19测试? 一个医学实验室的科学家处理了这个测试来确定你的结果.
Medical laboratory scientists obtain, 准备, 调查, and analyze samples of biological material (such as blood, tissue and urine) from the human body in order to identify sources of disease and determine the validity of data that allows physicians to make their patient diagnosis or determine the effectiveness of treatment.
如果你对科学有热情,有从细胞层面理解世界的动力, you can turn your interests into an exciting, in-demand career that makes a difference.
This is a job with no direct patient interaction, well suited for those who would prefer to work in labs.
计划的细节
Whether analyzing blood and tissue samples, 血型匹配, looking for cellular abnormalities, or identifying parasites and bacteria, GMercyU’s bachelor's degree (BS) in medical laboratory science will help you develop problem-solving skills in a clinical lab setting.
GMercyU’s 3+1 Medical Laboratory Science program 包括在我们的校园完成所需的通识教育和科学课程的三年, and one year of hands-on and classroom instruction at an affiliate program as you 准备 to pass the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) boards.

现实世界的机会
作为一个GMercyU MLS专业的学生, your senior year will be spent off-campus at an affiliate Medical Laboratory Science Program and their clinical education sites, 获得在该领域取得成功所需的额外课堂和实践经验. 学生s must apply to affiliates and be accepted to attend.
学生s attending affiliate programs will pay the tuition of that program and a small fee to 格温内斯仁慈大学 for the fall and spring semesters instead of the regular University tuition (a significantly lower amount). 然而,大学颁发的奖学金和助学金将不再适用, 学生可以继续通过大学申请联邦财政援助. 对于接受退伍军人福利的学生,学校不再是联络人. It is the responsibility of the student to contact affiliate programs of interest to determine if VA benefits can be continued.
GMercyU holds affiliations with the area’s four leading MLS programs:
- 宾夕法尼亚医院医学实验室科学学院(费城,宾夕法尼亚州)
- Reading Hospital’s School of Laboratory Science (Reading, PA)
- St. 克里斯托弗儿童医院医学检验科学学院(费城,宾夕法尼亚州)
- 哈肯萨克-子午线健康,泽西海岸大学医学中心佛罗伦萨M. Cook School of Medical Laboratory Science (Neptune, NJ)
Graduates of these programs will receive a certificate of completion. B.S. degree will be granted by 格温内斯仁慈大学.
GMercyU还与托马斯·杰斐逊大学(Thomas Jefferson University)签订了衔接协议. Contact the Campus Coordinator for additional information.
After graduating from GMercyU’s Medical Laboratory Science Program, your skills will be in high demand with 24,00 job openings predicted through 2032, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Your degree can open the door to these jobs and more:
- 血库技术员
- Histotechnologist
- Medical Equipment Sales Representative
- 医务化验主任
- Medical Laboratory Technologist
- Pharmaceutical Sales Representative
- 研究助理
Melissa Scharf, 22岁
Current 位置: Histotechnologist, St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children
在毕业之前, 梅丽莎被自己选择的部门聘用,她是该领域的坚定倡导者.
"Working as a medical lab scientist is very rewarding as our results greatly impact patient care and diagnosis. 我强烈鼓励所有对医疗保健或相关科学感兴趣的学生攻读MLS学位. Medical lab techs are in very high demand and jobs are readily available in a variety of departments based on the tech’s interests."
凯特琳·萨尔弗兰克21岁
Current 位置: Medical Technologist, Doylestown Hospital
Caitlin loves that every day is different at her job, 这让她可以在医疗保健行业扮演更“幕后”的角色, 没有直接接触病人.
There is opportunity in this field, she says. "Most of the current MLS employees are closer to retirement 年龄, and there are not many people coming out of school with this degree."
What field are you interested in?
[You can] work in a variety of hospital laboratory departments which include but are not limited to: blood banking, 微生物学, 病毒学, 细胞遗传学, 组织学和病理学, 化学, 血液学, 分子生物学.
