The program has been arranged so that students may ladder into the bachelor of science program. With the appropriate choices a student may complete the bachelor of science at the end of two years following receipt of the associate of science. For those with a bachelor of science degree in a field related to nutrition and dietetics, the student may earn a certificate in dietetic technology. The certificate program will be individualized based on the student's transcript and work experience. Upon completion of the certificate, the student will receive a verification statement of eligibility to write the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians from the American Dietetic Association.Image of bakers hat Dietetic Technicians, Registered (DTR) practice in acute-care and long-term care settings, in school lunch programs, in senior nutrition programs, in public health departments, and in food service management settings. The DTR may screen patients/clients for nutrition needs and take courses in purchasing and production of food on a large scale. Inventory, cost control, and recipe development may be the focus of the DTR's role in food service.

A medical radiographer--also known as a radiologic technologist--is responsible for the accurate demonstration of body structures on an image receptor, such as x-ray/radiographic film or a digital imaging monitor. The technologist determines proper exposure factors, manipulates medical imaging equipment, evaluates the radiographic image for quality, and provides for patient protection and comfort. The radiologic technologist frequently assists the radiologist in specialized procedures. These procedures often require the administration of contrast agents or the use of fluoroscopy for enhanced viewing.
AS in Physical Therapist Assistant
Study mode: Full Time |
The physical therapist assistant is a skilled paraprofessional health-care worker who, under the supervision of a physical therapist, carries out the patient's treatment program. The extent to which the physical therapist assistant is involved in treatment depends upon the supervising therapist. A planned patient-care program is carried out by the assistant, following established procedures. Duties of the physical therapist assistant include: training patients in exercises and activities of normal daily living; conducting treatments; utilizing special equipment; assisting in performing tests, evaluations, and complex treatment procedures; observing and reporting the patient's responses.
BS in Clinical Laboratory Science
Study mode: Full Time |
The clinical laboratory scientist/medical technologist (CLS/MT) supervises or performs laboratory tests that aid the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient's disease. Often these tests--in clinical chemistry, medical microbiology, parasitology, hematology, immunology, blood transfusion services, urinalysis, immunoassay, and other analyses--disclose subtle changes that might not be detected in any other way. Laboratory analysis requires that the technologist learn complex biotechnical theory and skills, including molecular diagnostics and molecular genetics. The majority of CLS/MTs work in hospital clinical laboratories as well as industry, research, or public health agencies in this country and abroad. Growth in the number of public and private medical facilities, the increased importance of laboratory tests for medical diagnosis, and the initiation of new government health care programs have created a need for more CLS/MTs.

Cytotechnology is a specialty within the broad field of clinical laboratory science. The cytotechnologist, working under the direction of a pathologist, detects cell changes caused by different disease processes; and is able to differentiate between normal, atypical, and malignant cell changes. In recognizing microscopic abnormalities of cells and cellular patterns from various body sites, the cytotechnologist assists the pathologist in detecting cancer at its earliest and potentially most curable stage. As a result, physicians are able to diagnose and treat cancer long before discovering its existence by alternate methods. Cytotechnologists work in hospitals, clinics, and independent pathology laboratories. The employment outlook for cytotechnologists is favorable, with the demand for trained workers exceeding the supply. Cytotechnologists can advance to supervisory positions, participate in research activities, or become teachers in the field. Advancement is based on experience, skill, and advanced education.
