Beard, Roger C. Nichols, Leonard G. Nielsen, Yasmen Simonian The Weber State University College of Health Professions, in cooperation with affiliated clinical facilities and other departments on the campus, offers an expanding program for the education and training of health care professionals. The programs emphasize an integration of basic sciences, discipline-specific skills and knowledge, clinical experiences, and liberal arts which enable the graduate to make a maximum contribution to patient care as a member of the health care team. Through the organization of the health science educational programs in one college, a common core curriculum is operational which fosters the team concept of health care and the integration and application of the basic biomedical sciences to patient needs. Location: Marriott Allied Health Bldg. Telephone Contact: Sue Van Uitert 626-7117 Ciinical laboratory practitioners perform laboratory testing vital to the detection, differential diagnosis, treatment, and study of disease and health maintenance.

The DL/BS program is offered both within State Both the BS and AAS 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.
