临床实验室科学家是医疗团队的重要组成部分，与医生合作以提供优质的患者护理。这些医疗保健专业人员执行临床实验室测试，以帮助医生预防，检测和治疗疾病。据估计，有关患者诊断和治疗的医学决策中有70％基于这些实验室测试结果。大多数临床实验室科学家受雇于医院或诊所实验室，但还有其他各种机会，包括研究，行业，销售，公共卫生，兽医诊所，教育，实验室管理和自雇顾问。临床实验室科学专业是一项独特的计划，学生在贝勒大学校园内完成头三年的课程工作，然后在我们的附属机构之一中度过第四年的12-16个月临床培训课程。目前，我们的附
Clinical laboratory scientists are an important part of a healthcare team, working with physicians to provide quality patient care. These healthcare professionals perform clinical laboratory tests that help physicians prevent, detect, and treat disease. It has been estimated that 70% of medical decisions regarding a patient's diagnosis and treatment are based on these laboratory test results. The majority of clinical laboratory scientists are employed by hospital or clinic laboratories, but there are other diverse opportunities including resesarch, industry, sales, public health, verterinary clinics, education, laboratory management, and self-employed consultants. The Clinical Laboratory Science major is a unique program in which students complete their first three years of coursework at the Baylor University campus, and then their fourth year is spent in a 12-16 month clinical training program at one of our affiliated institutions. Currently, our affiliated institutions are Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, Baylor Scott & White Hospital, in Temple, Texas, and Tartleton State University in Fort Worth, Texas. Upon successful completion of this course of study, the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Clinical Laboratory Science will be conferred. Additionally, students will qualify for the examination and certification by the Board of Certification of the American Society of Clinical Pathology.
