Certifies students at the MLT level and then allows them to proceed through courses focusing on information systems. This concentration is useful since many in the hospital lab find themselves with the desire to be more involved with the laboratory’s information system (a vital and surprisingly complex component of the clinical lab). There is a pressing need nationwide for skilled computer information systems graduates who understand the unique requirements of a clinical laboratory.
