220 221 RAM A student in the Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions may receive Honors in one of the listed majors in the following manner: (1) maintain an overall GPA of 3.3; (2) be enrolled in theGeneral Honors Program and complete at least 9 hours of General Honors courses or 9 hours in approved Departmental Honors credit in majors other than the student's major (these may include Health Sciences core courses); (3) fulfill the requirements for one of the following majors in this College: Clinical Laboratory Sciences leading to the baccalaureate degree, Clinical Laboratory Technician, Radiologic Technology, and Respiratory Therapy leading to the associate of applied science degree; and Dental Hygiene and Registered Nursing leading to the associate of science degree; (4) take at least 12 of the required credit hours in major courses taken for Honors credit; (5) in the case of the major leading to the baccalaureate degree, complete an Honors Senior Project course. (This project may be included among the foregoing requirements.) Students seeking an associate degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences or students who are Clinical Laboratory Sciences majors may receive Honors credit in any Clinical Laboratory Sciences course. Students taking the Radiologic Technology major may receive credit in all Radiologic Technology courses, except RadTec 1022, 1303, and 2403. All students desiring Honors credit should seek permission from individual program directors at the time of registration. At the beginning of the course, the student should make a written agreement with the appropriate professor regarding the work expected for Honors credit. This written agreement will be filed immediately with the program director. DEPARTMENT Clinical laboratory sciences Department Chair: Dr. Yasmen Simonian CLT Program Coordinator: Leonard Gary Nielsen Medical Advisor: Val B. Johnson, M.D. Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 208 Telephone Contact: JulieAnne Gibby 801-626-6118 Professors: Leonard Gary Nielsen, Yasmen Simonian Assistant Professors: Scott H. Wright, William Zundel Professional Staff: Kent J. Criddle Ulinical laboratory practitioners perform laboratory testing vital to the detection, differential diagnosis, treatment, and study of disease and health maintenance. The Weber State University programs utilize a career ladder concept in curriculum planning and educational preparation. The campus-based four-year program offers a BS degree in an integrated setting where students complete their degree in a structure that does not require extended formalized external clinical instruction. The Online-program offers certified two year practitioners an opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree in clinical laboratory sciences within their own clinical setting utilizing varied instructional learning approaches including technology-assisted learning and customized preceptorships. The Online BS program is offered nationally in conjunction with the university's Division of Continuing Education. The two-year technician A.A.S. degree is also an integrated campus-based program and allows the graduate to take the national certification examinations after two years. Both the B.S. and A.A.S. programs are accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). As such, graduates are eligible for several options for national certification including ASCP and NCA. To meet the need for clinical laboratory competencies in a rapidly changing health care system, the CLS program offers an intensive Certificate Program which provides applied core clinical laboratory skills required primarily for testing performed in physician office labs (POL's) and other decentralized testing sites. These sites mostly perform waived or moderately complex testing as defined within the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1988 (CLIA 88). The latter program is offered during Summer Semester at times that are compatible with individuals working full time during the day. Program Admissions Bachelor's Degree as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist Students must have completed a CLT program and/or be CLT certified, meet with a CLS faculty advisor and submit an application complete with a non-refundable $20 fee by May 1st of the year they wish to enter the program. Associate of Applied Science Degree Clinical Laboratory Technician Students must meet with a CLS faculty advisor, complete the pre-application courses listed in the CLT Admissions Requirements and make application to the program by May 1st of the year they wish to enter the program. There is a $10 non-refundable application fee for the program. Certificate Program The program is offered to individuals employed in the health care desiring a core of clinical laboratory skills. The program is designed to encourage medical assistants, phlebotomists, certified nursing practitioners and similar health care workers to achieve competencies that will better serve patient care in settings requiring basic laboratory testing as a part of the facility's health care services. The program's courses are directed toward achieving entry level competencies required for accurate performance of basic laboratory testing under the regulations set forth through CLIA 88 waived and moderately complex testing protocols under the direct supervision of laboratory directors and/or supervisors. Potential students should understand the certificate does not qualify the graduate to sit for external certification or licensure examinations, as none currently are available. Interested individuals will need to contact the program office for advisement and further details. Pre-Med/Pre-Dental/Pre-Vet/Pre-Professional Since the BS/CLS program offers in a bachelor's degree in an applied medical science, it offers an attractive alternate approach to traditional pre-professional degree tracks. The program has specific course integration with other required pre-professional course requirements. See a CLS faculty advisor for more specific information. Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) Major » Program Prerequisite: Completion of A.A.S. Degree requirements and/or CLT certification.
