The Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Science is committed to meeting the clinical laboratory workforce needs of the geographic region. Our mission is to provide excellence in education for future medical laboratory scientist, formerly known as clinical laboratory scientists, through activities that support quality clinical practice. The Center accomplishes this for students of the clinical laboratory scientist programs (one-year and two-year) by providing innovative curricula and working in partnership with academic institutions and clinical laboratories in the Rocky Mountain West.

Our legacy of clinical laboratory scientist education in Colorado

The Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Science is a program of Metropolitan State University of Denver and was established in 1962 under the auspices of St. Luke鈥檚 Hospital. In 1983, the Medical Lab Science Program came under the joint sponsorship of Presbyterian and St. Luke鈥檚 Medical Centers. In March 1988, the School moved to The PSL Center for Health Sciences Education. In 1995, the school sponsor became HealthONE Alliance, which was formed to reflect the organization鈥檚 expanded role as a partner with seven Denver metro area hospitals. In 2005, HealthONE Alliance became The Colorado Health Foundation.

Today, the Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Science reflects both its historical roots and its affiliations with the region鈥檚 laboratory community and its academic sponsor, Metropolitan State University of Denver. CCMLS is the longest-standing and largest MLS program in Colorado, with medical laboratory scientist program graduates working with their skills in key positions in clinical laboratories throughout the geographic area. This training program has been advancing patient care through accurate clinical lab results and a strong commitment to health at every level.

The Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Science offers a post-BS level professional certificate program in medical laboratory science, historically known as medical technology.

• Students may enter the curriculum after completing the BS/BA degree.
• Lecture and clinical laboratory courses are offered during the summer and fall semesters in the Center鈥檚 teaching facilities.
• Components of the clinical training program curriculum occur during the spring semester in 鈥�community partner鈥� laboratories throughout the Denver-metro area, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Longmont, and Colorado Springs.
• Placements during clinical rotations provide clinical laboratory students with access to health and medical employment contacts after graduation.
• Most of our Medical Lab Science Program graduates begin their careers in laboratories in the geographic area, thus helping address the critical shortage of laboratory scientists in the local Colorado area.

The Medical Center of Aurora North Campus serves as the program campus, providing space for teaching laboratories and classrooms.

The Colorado Center for Medical Laboratory Science, a program of Metropolitan State University of Denver holds accreditation through the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science since 1978.
