This program teaches students how to work effectively inside a hospital laboratory or similar environment. Students will typically spend the first few years taking core classes and labs in biology and chemistry. Once they have that foundation, students will take courses that teach them how to properly perform lab tests in many different areas, such as hematology (bloodwork), immunology, urinalysis and microbiology. Students will also get practical experience through clinical rotations.

This program is in UB’s medical school, which means students have access to expert faculty, state-of-the-art labs, research projects and other opportunities through UB's affiliated hospitals and clinics.
