The program represents a cooperative effort between the college and MSK to provide a 42 credit curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Medical Technology. The Marist Program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). The 12 month training program includes didactic lectures at MSKCC facilities, laboratory courses at the Marist facilities, and clinical rotations within MSKCC's Department of Laboratory Medicine. Employees meeting MSK’s criteria and Marist College’s pre-requisite course requirements apply to the program. Applicants are screened and interviewed by a committee of administrators, managers and Laboratory Medicine faculty. Eight employees are admitted to the program annually. Tuition for the program, commuting expenses and textbooks are paid by MSKCC. The employee continues to receive their current salary with benefits during their time as a student. Upon successful completion of the program, employees receive a second Bachelors of Science degree from Marist College and meet the requirements for the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), Medical Laboratory Scientist exam. Upon passing the ASCP MLS exam, employees apply for New York State licensure as a Clinical Laboratory Technologist. Licensed employees are offered a position in Laboratory Medicine with a two or three year commitment to the department. The program started in the summer of 2014. The first two cohorts have completed the program, the third cohort is scheduled to graduate in August 2017 and the forth cohort has been selected with a start date of July 2017. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
