Junior Year

Coursework includes a selection of required basic sciences and professional courses. Clinical rotations consisting of full-time clinical instruction and field experience are scheduled at commercial and hospital laboratories affiliated with the Health Sciences Center at Stony Brook. These rotations provide students with substantive opportunities to reinforce and further develop the technical and behavioral skills needed in the clinical laboratory setting while under the supervision of clinical faculty.
