Welcome!
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) is defined as the branch of medicine concerned with the performance of laboratory determinations and analyses used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. This profession combines the challenges and rewards of medicine and science.
The Clinical Laboratory Science Department administers the CLS program under the auspices of ULM's College of Health Sciences. The program is a minimum four-year curriculum, which includes a solid foundation in basic sciences, a broad background in clinical laboratory science with several specialized courses, and sufficient non-science courses to provide the student with a well-rounded education.
All Clinical Laboratory Scientists have some common characteristics.
They have a strong desire to help others. They are problem-solvers who enjoy challenge and responsibility. They are accurate, reliable, emotionally stable, function well under pressure, and can complete a task once started.
Above all, the clinical laboratory scientist has a high degree of commitment to their profession and a strong interest and ability in science. If one chooses to pursue a career in clinical laboratory science, the exploration never ends.
