Program Description:
Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) and Medical Technologists (MTs) are clinical laboratory professionals and members of the health care team who participate in the diagnosis of disease through the use of sophisticated instruments and techniques. MLS and MTs are needed to fill positions in hospitals, clinics and research laboratories in New Jersey and across the country.
Kean University recognizes the need for qualified medical laboratory scientists in the region’s workforce, as well as a desire among its student population to pursue such careers. After three years at Kean students complete the clinical preceptor at one of our affiliate hospital programs:
The Valley Hospital School of MLS, Jersey Shore University Hospital’s Florence M. Cook School of MLS, or Monmouth Medical Center School of MLS. The University also recognizes that duplication of certain health education programs is costly and unnecessary. Thus, Kean has a joint degree with Rutgers University School of Health Professions (SHP). MLS students can apply to Rutgers to complete the clinical preceptor. After completion of the clinical preceptor, students are eligible to take the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) exam for Certification.
