1. Clinical Laboratory Science
Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) Program
Clinical lab scientists are highly skilled members of the medical team. They perform and supervise complex, often automated analyses on a variety of specimens to aid physicians in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. They traditionally work in hospital and clinics; however, the variety of lab skills which CLS graduates possess allows them to work in many other related fields. The clinical year is offered in partnership with Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital and Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center. Both hospitals are JCAHO and CAP approved, and have highly educated and skilled lab staff and state-of-the-art technology. The program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). 8410 West Bryn Mawr Ave. Suite 670, Chicago, IL 60631-3415 (773) 714-8880 www.naacls.org.
Admission is competitive and application deadline is December 1st prior to the start of the clinical year. Application forms can be obtained from the program advisor on the Heritage campus or by contacting the program itself at 1120 W. Spruce, Yakima, WA (509) 454-6100 or email at clinicallab@heritage.edu.
To qualify for acceptance into the CLS Program, students must have taken a minimum of 16 semester hours of chemistry. This must include a year of general chemistry and a course in organic chemistry and/or biochemistry. They must have completed a minimum of 16 semester hours of biological science. The biology courses must include general biology and a course in bacteriology (microbiology). Immunology is required either as a separate course or as part of another course. A minimum of one course in college level mathematics is required. The minimum overall GPA for acceptance is 2.5 and a science GPA of 2.7.
The clinical year begins in the fall semester, continues spring and summer semesters with 36 credits earned. To remain in good standing, students must maintain a minimum grade of 70% in each section. Upon completion of the Heritage program, graduates are eligible for national certification exams and can choose from many job opportunities.
Three options are offered for students interested in a career in Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) / Medical Technology.
1. 4 + 1 = Four years of undergraduate studies and one additional year of study in the clinical laboratory. This option is for students who may not have chosen this major until later in their college career or for students who want to be well grounded in the sciences.
2. 3 + 1 = Three years of undergraduate studies and one year of study in the clinical lab. This option is for students who know early in their career they want to be a clinical lab scientist and direct their course of studies to the basic requirements.
3. Professional Certificate Program. This option is for students who enter the clinical year with a bachelor’s degree from another university, have all the pre-requisite courses, and desire a certificate of completion.
1. 4 + 1 Option, Bachelor of Science Degree
Major: Biology with Specialization in Clinical Laboratory Science
With this major all the following courses may be taken as listed on page 143.
2. 3 + 1 Option Bachelor of Science Degree
Major: Clinical Laboratory Science
With this major only the courses with * are required, the other science courses are highly recommended.
A memorandum of understanding between Columbia Basin College and Heritage University allows students completing the transfer curriculum of the Environmental Restoration Management Technology (ERMT) associate degree at Columbia Basin College to enter the program for the Bachelor of Science at the junior level. Please contact the Arts and Sciences Department Chair for further information.
Transfer agreements between Heritage University and Seattle University and Heritage University and Washington State University allow a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering after the completion of a 2/2 or a 2/3 year program. See the science advisor for information.
Internship experiences are available to students as part of most departmental degree programs. A maximum of 12 credits of internship may be applied as credit for graduation.

Note: courses in bold are part of the GENERAL UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS.
Mathematics
The amount of math needed depends upon your choice of major and selection of medical schools. We recommend that students complete a statistics course Math 221W in addition to calculus Math 205.
English
You should also include some literature in your academic plan. We strongly recommend including at least two literature courses in your GUR requirements, and taking them prior to the MCAT.
Students applying to medical schools requiring additional cell and molecular biology should consider BIOL 330W.
While a bachelor's degree is necessary in order to be a competitive applicant, medical schools are not concerned about your major. You should be thinking of alternate future careers in the event you are not accepted to medical school, and your alternates may be a factor in your choice of major. You should also consider your academic success when you choose a major, and select one that you enjoy and in which you perform well.
GPA
The mean overall GPA for entering medical school students in the last decade has been approximately 3.50-3.60 nationwide. Students with significantly lower GPAs will have a more difficult time gaining admission to medical school, although admission committees will take into consideration any extenuating circumstances and will look for other demonstrated characteristics considered desirable for medicine.
Applying to Medical School
Application to medical school begins the summer of the year before the year of entry. For example, you would apply in summer of 2008 to enter medical school in autumn of 2009. Most allopathic medical schools belong to the American Association of Medical Colleges Application Service; osteopathic medical schools belong to the American Associate of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service. Students apply to these schools through these associations. The applications are web-based exclusively.
Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)
The MCAT is now offered multiple times per year as a computerized exam. It is usually taken during the spring before a student applies to medical school. The 5 1/2 hour test covers four areas: verbal reasoning, biological science problem solving, physical science problem solving, and two 30-minute essays.
There are a number of privately owned test-preparation programs. For a substantial fee, usually over $1,300, these organizations provide review classes, study materials, and practice tests. Participation in these programs is entirely up to you. On the one hand, they provide a structured review of the material that will be covered on the MCAT. (Note that they do NOT substitute for actual college coursework—they are meant to review courses already taken.) On the other hand, they are expensive and do not accomplish anything that you could not accomplish on your own with study guides and practice tests.
Letters of Recommendation
Most admission committees require academic and character recommendations. The typical requirement is for letters from three college teachers representing both science and non-science courses, and one or two optional character references. Requirements for letters vary from school to school; you should have at least two letters from science faculty to be safe.
Obtain letters of recommendation during years 2 and 3 in order to meet application deadlines early in year 4. It's important that those writing your letters of recommendation know you well, as admission committees will want to have detailed information about your academic ability, personal qualities, potential/suitability as a physician, etc.
Residency and Citizenship
State-supported medical schools strongly prefer residents of their own state. Foreign applicants will have a difficult time gaining admission to U.S. medical schools unless they have permanent visas and have established a state residence.
DEGREE AND PROGRAM OPTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Bachelor of Science Degree, Major: Biology with Specialization in Environmental Biology
The biology degree is intended to train students interested in pursuing careers in the biological sciences. This option is offered for students who wish to study the biological aspects of environmental issues associated with agriculture, natural resources, and assessment and management of the environment.

Bachelor of Science Degree, Major: Biology with Specialization in Plant Science
The biology degree is intended to train students interested in the biological sciences. This option is offered for students who wish to emphasize the applied plant sciences. Graduates of the Applied Plant Sciences Degree will be qualified to work in either traditional forestry or native plant restoration agriculture. As agriculture grows more complex, there is an increasing need for advanced technology. Knowledge of basic genetics, tissue culture, cloning, and other areas of genetic engineering have become essential to the successful operation of these enterprises. The regulations that are involved in running a high technology business will increase at least as rapidly as the procedures do. This program provides operators and managers who direct farms and greenhouses the educational background and technical knowledge necessary to successfully direct such operations.
