It’s been quiet… too quiet… the students have been off main campus at the gorgeous phlebotomy program to learn from our fantastic phlebotomy instructors.

Happy Friday! We’re celebrating the weekend with our next student spotlight with Priya! Hello! I am currently a 3+1 Medical Laboratory Science major with Purdue University.

Hi everyone! My name is Taylor, and I am a current 3+1 MLS student at Ashland University! As a Northeast Ohio native, I chose the CCF program to complete my clinical year because of its advanced laboratories, passionate educators, and…

Getting close to the end of first semester didactics! The students have been in the student lab gettting hands on with PT and aPTT testing on the BFT II analyzer to explore the coag cascade and see how certain conditions and drugs can lead to prolonged clotting times

I’m currently enrolled in the 3+1 Medical Laboratory Science program at Cleveland State University, where I am completing my clinical year at the Cleveland Clinic. I’m also a veteran using my VA benefits to pursue this career path, which has been an incredible opportunity.

Hematology II is in the books, our next Black Friday™️ will be our toxicology exam, hopefully no one is trying to get some first hand experience during the OU-OSU game.

No better way to kick off the long weekend than with a student spotlight! Our next student spotlight is Chloe! Hi everyone! My name is Chloe, and I am one of the current MLS students at the Cleveland Clinic! I come to the Clinic from Purdue University…

This week the students explored hemoglobin and hemoglobinopathies. They built their own hemoglobin molecules to explore the structure of hemoglobin and tested their knowledge of hemoglobinopathies with a round of Hemoglobinopoly!

Our first chem exam warrants our first student spotlight! I'm Hailey! I graduated from the University at Albany in 2021 with a double Bachelor of Science in Biology and Anthropology.

This week our students worked on plotting QC, understanding how to evaluate assay performance is key to starting in the lab. We found rule violations and talked about the first couple things we might try to troubleshoot.

The students have been off and running after orientation last week and settling into the regular pace this week. We are so excited for our new cohort to learn the all about chemistry and hematology this first semester, core-lab here we come!

Just over a week ago we celebrated the graduation of our 2024-25 class and we are madly preparing for the next cohort. Some are taking some time before starting in the lab and others have been at the bench already, hitting the ground running. Regardless we couldn’t be more proud!

Hi! My name is Grace and I am a 3+1 student from Kent State University. I chose the Cleveland Clinic MLS program for many reasons. Aside from gaining hands-on laboratory experience at one of the world's top hospitals, the program offers many well-rounded courses and…

Happy Wednesday! During their Immunology clinical rotation, students have been gaining hands-on experience with workflow of various laboratory benches. They performed tests related to allergies, autoimmune disorders, immune deficiencies, serology and selected tumor markers!

Of course getting dirty isn’t always the goal, sometimes the goal is to stay clean like in the AFB lab! The acid-fast bacilli they are working with are hardier than the average bug so they we take extra precautions.

Students are out on rotations and getting their hands dirty with bacteriology!

Time for another student profile! Hi! My name is Faith Thompson and I am a 3+1 student from Ursuline College. I chose the Cleveland Clinic MLS program because I wanted to get an education from the renowned organization I know CCF to be. I have gotten care through the Clinic my whole life…

A midweek throwback to our students parasitology potluck a few weeks ago. They brought in parasite inspired dishes, no word on if anyone felt like eating….

Hi! My name is Collin. I received my bachelors in microbiology at The Ohio State University. I decided to pursue my MLS at the Cleveland Clinic because the opportunities here for clinical laboratorians are unmatched.

Happy Medical Laboratory Professionals Week! Yesterday, our students and educators had a blast participating in the virtual ASCLS Lab Week Run. Huge congrats to our medalists, Emme and Grace! #LabWeekRun #IamASCLS #Lab4Life

It’s another gorgeous day to celebrate lab week and appreciate lab professionals everywhere!

Happy Lab Week! We have another student profile for the week! Hi! My name is Katie and I’m a 4+1 student from Youngstown State University with a B.S. in Biology. I chose the Cleveland Clinic MLS program because of the hands-on learning, variety of rotations, and the chance to train at one of…

When they come back as infection preventionists to give your students a lecture 🥹

Gorgeous weather got us smiling like:

Another week means time for another student spotlight! Hi! My name is Jackie :) I graduated from Miami University with a BA in biology with a comajor in premedical studies, and I’ll graduate again this summer with a BS in medical lab science.

The newest issue of ASCLS Today focuses on "Professional Impact." Articles in this issue emphasize how the work #MedicalLaboratory professionals do impacts patient lives, the healthcare system, and each other. Read here: ascls.org/category/asc... #IamASCLS #Lab4Life

This week in the blood bank student lab, the students worked on antibody identification panels. During this testing, they performed exclusions or ‘rule outs’ to identify which antibody their patients had and to prove which ones they didn’t! #labucate

Great ideas for child-safe demonstrations of medical lab sciences here at #CLEC2025

It’s spring break and #clec2025 it’s time for another student profile, meet JT! Hi, I’m J.T.! I am a 4+1 student. I graduated last year with a clinical laboratory science degree from Walsh University. I chose the MLS career path because I wanted to enter the medical field without the face-to-face…

I'm attending Kent State University and plan to graduate in the summer of 2025. My favorite memories from the semester are making a meme about each chemistry exam. So far, I have loved doing manual hematology and body fluids!

This week, our students wrapped up their Factor V Leiden testing in the molecular diagnostics lab! Factor V Leiden is the most common inherited blood clotting disorder.

"Working at the bench in the clinical micro lab was the coolest thing I've ever done...it's why I'm any good at what I do today -- that's a fact." ~ Andrea Prinzi Thx so much to Drs. Eli Theel, Alex McAdam & Alexandrs Bryson for the fun convo 🔬 #Microsky #IDsky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Happy holidays from the class of 2025! We are excited to have the students back on campus this week to begin their journey in Immunology and Molecular Diagnostics!

When your boss says it isn’t a two-person job…

Time to quickly meet a student before the holidays fully occupy us all! Hi! My name is Z and I graduated from John Carroll University with a bachelors in Biology. I first learned about the CCF Medical Laboratory Sciences program in high school and knew it was what I wanted to do.

#SciComm #IdSky

This day we are thankful for all of the lab personnel who are working hard to look after their patients while we gather with those close to us. We hope you are able to celebrate and enjoy your holiday soon!

Hi my name is Rachel! I’m a 3+1 student from Kent State University.  I chose the CCF program because of its educational opportunities and exposure to experiences not offered in other programs!

Lots of new followers coming over, our students are out in the labs trying their hands at chemistry, hematology, phlebotomy and pre-analytics.

POV: you’re a student who loves to antagonize the chemistry instructor….

Our students got hands-on with hemoglobin by crafting their own “pet” hemoglobin models! This activity helped them explore the structure and components that make hemoglobin so vital and interesting!

*Lab Week vibes intensifying*

I'm Ali (they/them) from Youngstown State University. I chose the Cleveland Clinic program because of its reputation as a great teaching hospital and to get a foot in the door for my new laboratory career.  I first discovered the field of medical laboratory science…

Today marks the 1st day of second semester! During the student's molecular diagnostics student lab, they practiced their micro pipetting skills by creating a series of master mixes. They later loaded their master mixes into a 96-well plate to create a fun image. Swipe to see their final creations!

Recently two of our educators, Jon and Hilary were out in the community letting high schoolers know about the amazing opportunities for a career in medical laboratory science! We had a great time and hope to see them at the bench soon! #labucate #scied #lab4life
