CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES Clinical Laboratory Scientist Program Director: Michael A. Beard Clinical Laboratory Technician Program Director: Roger C. Nichols Medical Adviser: Thomas Piira, MD. Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 208 Telephone Contact: Lynnette Beckstrand 626-6118 Professors: Michael A. Beard, Leonard G. Nielsen, Roger C. Nichols; Associate Professor: Yasmen Simonian Description Clinical laboratory scientists perform laboratory tests that contribute to the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and study of disease. Education At Weber State CoUege the CUnical Laboratory Science programs utilize a ladder concept in curriculum planning. The four year curriculum is divided into two programs. The Clinical Laboratory Technician program comprises the first two years. Students that apply and are accepted into the CLT Program may graduate with an Associate of Apphed Science degree and are eligible to sit for certification examinations. Students who wish to continue on for a four-year degree must apply and be accepted into the B.S. Clinical Laboratory Scientist program. These students complete the last two years of the curriculum and graduate with a bachelor's degree in Clinical Laboratory Science and are eligible to sit for certification examinations. Admission to Clinical Laboratory Technician Program Students must see a CLS counselor, complete the pre- application courses and make application before April 1st of the year they wish to enter the program. Admission to Clinical Laboratory Scientist Program Qualified students make application before April 1st of the year they wish to enter. Pre-Med/Pre-Dental/Pre-Vet Clinical Laboratory Science is an alternate approach for obtaining the pre-med, pre-dental, or pre-vet courses while completing a degree in a medically related profession. See a CLS counselor for a specific curriculum designed for specific goals.
