Program Prerequisite: Declare intent to obtain Department Honors in Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS). Grade Requirements: Maintain an overall GPA of 3.3. Credit Hour Requirements: Upon entering the MLS BS program, determine an Honors project. This may be research related, a community project, or a scholarly paper, presentation or publication. Select courses within the MLS BS curriculum which relate to or enhance the Honors project. With instructor permission, take courses identified and include an honors component with each course. During the final semester, complete the requirement of MLS 4800 Departmental Honors, which includes completion of an Honors project. A minimum of 15 credit hours of upper division MLS courses with the honors component must be complete to receive MLS departmental honors. Medical Laboratory Sciences Clinical Laboratory Assistant (CLA) Certificate of Completion The Clinical Laboratory Assistant (CLA) certificate is designed for medical assistants, phlebotomists, certified nursing practitioners and similar health care workers, and provides applied core clinical laboratory skills required primarily for testing performed in physician office labs and other decentralized testing sites. Program competencies include phlebotomy and accurate performance of basic laboratory testing for waived and moderately complex testing protocols, to be performed under the direct supervision of laboratory directors and/or supervisors. Students who complete WSU's certificate of completion are designated as CLA level assistant rV by local industry. For campus students, the CLA certificate is granted after successful completion of two courses: MLS 1113, Intro to Medical Laboratory Practices and MLS 1123, Principles of Clinical Hematology and Hemo stasis. Online students must complete MLS 1000, Core Clinical Laboratory Skills, and be employed in a clinical laboratory setting. If students wish to continue to further their education, by taking MLS 1003 in addition to MLS 1000, they can waive MLS 1113 when they enroll in the MLS AAS Program at WSU.
