Histotechnology
Medicine (MD, Biomedical, and Professional Studies)
The Master of Science Histotechnology 12-month program combines academic studies with a clinical practicum to prepare the students to perform complex tissue specimen preparations in the histology laboratory. The program provides advanced training and is designed to enable graduates to work as highly qualified histotechnologists under the supervision of pathologists. Coursework includes histology, biochemistry, advanced histotechnology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, medical ethics, laboratory management, and leadership skills. In addition to the coursework, students complete a three-month practicum designed to allow them to apply the knowledge and techniques learned during their didactic courses in a clinical hospital setting. The practicum allows the student the opportunity to perform routine, as well as specialized, histotechnology techniques under the supervision of a qualified histotechnologist.
