Clinical Lab Education

Clinical Lab Programs

The clinical lab profession offers multiple career tracks that require different levels of education. 

Clinical lab scientists are typically required to complete a four to five-year program through an accredited college or university while lab technicians are usually only required to complete a two-year program. Whether you’re interested in life at a big university or would prefer a two-year training program at a community college, there are careers available in clinical lab science.
