Program Prerequisite: Declare intent to obtain Department Honors in Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS). Grade Requirements: Maintain a 3.5 overall GPA. Requirements for Completion: Prior to graduation of the Bachelor's degree in Medical Laboratory Science, students must complete the following items: • Acceptance into the Departmental Honors Program. • Graduating overall GPA o f 3.5, and a departmental GPA of 3.8. • Must not require a re-take exam for any MLS course, as outlined by the department policy. Must score in the top 10% of the MLT ASCP Certification Exam when compared to national Research classes, or equivalent, must be completed with a grade of A. Students must submit their research for publication in Ergo, and o Present their research at a national conference, OR o Submit their research for publication in a national scientific journal. Complete at least 20 hours of documented major- related community service, OR donate at least 20 hours of documented time to a major-related professional organization. Must hold a leadership role in a major-related activity. 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. Online students must complete MLS 1010, Core Clinical Laboratory Skills, and have the support of a clinical laboratory to fulfill the laboratory requirement. The laboratory component will address applications with a focus on point-of-care-testing (POCT). Students will be required to spend a minimum of 4 unpaid hours per week working on laboratory competency. If students wish to continue to further their education, MLS 1113 will be waived upon enrollment into the MLS AAS Program at WSU.
