医学的实践取决于临床实验室科学专业人士进行的高质量测试。临床实验室科学家在各种医疗机构，医院，私人实验室和医生办公室中工作，他们在化学，血液学，微生物学尿液分析和血液储备领域进行各种分析。在该计划的前三年中，您将完成UMKC的那些前提条件，为您准备进入临床计划做准备。UMKC的生物科学学院目前隶属于圣卢克医院和北堪萨斯城医院的临床实验室科学学院。入院课程是有竞争力的，尽管我们的学生会得到优先考虑，但不能保证入院。作为攻读生物学学士学位（重点是临床实验室科学）的学生，您将在完成临床年（高年级）后有资格参加国
The B.S. in Biology is for students interested in preparing for graduate studies, professional school or entry-level employment in a science-related field. This degree requires more advanced coursework in math, physics and chemistry than is required for the B.A. in Biology. Students will also complete requirements for a minor in chemistry.<br>Clinical laboratory scientists are vital to providing the high-quality testing that medical professionals depend on to care for patients. With multiple clinical opportunities, UMKC's biology degree with a clinical laboratory sciences emphasis will prepare you with the expertise you need to take the national certification examination upon graduation.
