The Medical Laboratory Science Internship is an intensive, hands-on program designed to provide students with real-world experience in clinical laboratory settings. This internship bridges the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, allowing students to develop and refine their technical skills, professional behavior, and problem-solving abilities in a supervised environment. Students will rotate through various departments of a clinical laboratory, including hematology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, immunology, blood banking, and molecular diagnostics. Students will be expected to complete 200 hours in an off-site internship experience.
