Distance Education Program for
Traditional MT Students in Arkansas

The Department of Laboratory Sciences offers a medical technology distance education curriculum for students in Arkansas.  Pre-professional course work can be taken at any regionally-accredited college or university.  Students who are admitted will complete a four-semester (two-year) professional curriculum.  The first year of the program includes course work (lectures and laboratory exercises) using distance education technology.  In addition, the first year student is required to complete a laboratory session at UAMS in Little Rock during the final two weeks of each semester.   The second year of the program is a clinical internship at a program-approved clinical affiliation site.  

This program is designed for students who want to become a clinical laboratory professional but who cannot, for various reasons, relocate to attend the first year of the traditional program in Little Rock.  Clinical laboratory professionals are needed in virtually all areas of Arkansas and the country.
