I have MLT license from California. After figuring out that MLT jobs pays so less and having a BS, MS degree already, I feel like I need to get CLS license. However I am a BS biology major in Texas and working as MT generalist for 10 yrs with ASCP certification. I do not want to get another degree but just take the required extra classes that are missing (which looks like analytical chemistry, hematology and medical microbiology in my case) The course requirement for CLS license is so not specific in CPHD website.
Looks like I will never get a specific response but a generic copy and paste requirement page from them when I email them. I have 16 hours in chemistry with 2 classes 8 credit hours of general chemistry and 2 classes or 8 credit hours of organic chemistry. Does that fulfill chemistry requirement? Does analytical chemistry means something else?
On biology what is Medical microbiology? does the course have to say medical microbiology? Most CLS programs in Texas does not even have that class requirement. Can a virology, mycology etc substitute it? Can I get that classes online?
Anyone went through similar issue like mine. Any information shared will be appreciated.
