The UW School of Medicine and Public Health is ending its long-standing program that trains medical lab technologists, in cuts required by Gov. Jim Doyleâ??s proposed budget, university officials said Tuesday.
The Clinical Laboratory Sciences program will train existing students until they finish the four-year undergraduate curriculum but will no longer enroll new students, said Dr. Robert Golden, medical school dean. The program, which started in 1925, has about 80 students.
