Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science - Medical Laboratory Technician (Medical Laboratory Science Articulation)

A Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) provides exciting opportunities for individuals with an interest in science who wish to pursue a career as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. An MLS education also provides excellent preparation for medical and graduate schools or employment opportunities outside of a typical hospital setting. MLS graduates have gone on to medical school, law school, and physician assistant, pathologist assistant, and public health programs. Diverse job opportunities include employment in medical laboratories, research laboratories, forensic science laboratories, veterinary laboratories, fertility centers, higher education, healthcare information technology, and consulting. In the past three years, 100% of UIS MLS graduates who sought employment have found employment in the field/closely related field or have pursued further education within one year of graduation. Medical Laboratory Scientists play an integral role in the interdisciplinary spectrum of healthcare by: performing and interpreting a wide array of testing, investigating and correcting incidences of patient misidentification, researching and developing evidence-based testing algorithms, selecting and implementing new testing platforms, and validating, maintaining, and troubleshooting analytical instrumentation. Medical Laboratory Scientists serve as a valuable resource for the diverse healthcare workforce by providing guidance in the collection, selection, and interpretation of laboratory testing. Medical laboratory professionals must evolve continuously in the unpredictable and innovative healthcare atmosphere, carrying on rigorous continuing education programs throughout their careers.

Special opportunities to accelerate the clinical courses are available for individuals who have completed an associate degree medical laboratory technician program and who have passed the ASCP certification examination. Medical laboratory technicians interested in this articulation opportunity should contact the MLS Program director to discuss curriculum planning based on their previous academic and clinical experiences.
