Medical Laboratory Sciences Clinical Laboratory Assistant (CLA) Certificate of Completion The Clinical Laboratory Assistant (CLA) certificate of completion is designed to teach core clinical laboratory skills to individuals from various health care professions. The curriculum will focus on basic laboratory methods in quality control, quality assurance, information recording and transfer, normal and abnormal laboratory values, and problem recognition. Students will receive basic technical instruction in laboratory safety, microscopy, phlebotomy, specimen collection and processing, and laboratory instrumentation in the areas of hematology, serology, urinalysis, clinical chemistry, and microbiology. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Dumke College of Health Profession's Clinical Laboratory Assistant (CLA) program and are designated as CLA level assistant IV by local industry. For campus students, the CLA certificate is granted after successful completion of MLS 1113, Intro to Medical Laboratory Practices.
