The Master of Health Science in Laboratory Medicine is a full-time two-year professional master’s degree program offered by the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology assisted by Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine. The program will be offered on a full-time basis. The program consists of 9.5 full course equivalents and the length of the program is two years (6 terms, starting in Fall). There are two fields in Laboratory Medicine to choose from, Pathologists’ Assistant (PA) and Clinical Embryology (CE). Pathologists’ Assistants (PAs) are involved in providing diagnostic services in anatomical pathology through applying knowledge of tissue and laboratory analysis of human specimens. Clinical Embryologists (CEs) provide clinical management related to assisted reproductive technology in clinical embryology laboratories. The program responds to education gaps in basic science, applied technology and core laboratory functions in both fields as advances are outpacing the ability to incorporate them into the current non-university, non-academic apprenticeship models of training PAs and CEs. Potential applicants will be graduates from life science and biomedical programs. The curriculum will consist of lecture, discussion, presentations, practicums, and project-based courses with a focus on core foundation of basic sciences, and field based academic and applied training.
