Certificate Program in Certified Laboratory Assisting
:::!
To prepare more people for careers in medical laboratories, both clinical and research, Cuyahoga Community College has joined with the Greater Cleveland Hospital Association and several member hospitals in offering a program to train certified laboratory assistants. The certified laboratory assistant (CLA) assists the regis· tered medical technologist or works directly under the supervision of a pathologist or other medical doctor. The program is one year in length. It consists of a Summer session of 19 quarter hours of credit at Cuyahoga Community College and 40 weeks of clinical training in the clinical laboratory of an affiliated hospital. Those successfully completing the program will be granted a certificate issued jointly by Cuya· hoga Community College and the cooperating hospital. The student is then eligible to take the National Certification Examination administered each October. Students are admitted once each year, at the begin· ning of the Summer session. Cuyahoga Community College's Certified Laboratory Assisting Program is accredited by the Council of Medical Education of the American Medical Association and is approved by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP).
