Citing the rapidly growing need of Medical Laboratory Scientists nationwide, officials with the Indiana Regional Medical Center announced the launch of a 12-month program on Friday geared towards growing that profession.
According to a news release, the IRMC Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) Program provides an opportunity for college students looking to gain the knowledge, understanding, values and skill set necessary to become successful in the field. It will also prepare graduates for roles in clinical laboratory science, research, education, and administration.
The launch of the program stems from reports by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which anticipates the need of workers to grow between 10-17 percent. Another report from the Pennsylvania Center for Workforce Information lists Medical Laboratory Scientist as quote, “one of its ‘High Priority Occupations.’”
