The Cytogenetics Concentration leads to a BS in Clinical Laboratory Science. After graduating and one year of practice the student is eligible to sit for the Cytogenetic (CG) board exam through the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP). Cytogenetic technologists work independently under general supervision and can interpret and implement established procedures to prepare biological specimens for cytogenetics analysis, perform the analysis and construct and interpret karyotypes. Students may be accepted into the cytogenetics specialization after completing the required science, mathematics and clinical laboratory science courses. University general education requirements must also be met. The senior year consists of a 2-semester internship at Henry Ford Hospital in the Cytogenetics department. The program consists of an integrated presentation of didactic material and intensive laboratory study in the area of cytogenetics that includes specimen preparation, cell culture, chromosome analysis, microscopy, and photography.
