- Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to provide the participants with information related to developing and delivering an online second degree Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) program. The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Health Professions in 2007 sought to increase enrollment in the CLS program by developing an online second degree program for those individuals who earned Bachelor's degrees in a science field (biology, chemistry, etc.). Participants in this presentation will be able to describe the unique challenges associated with developing and delivering an online second degree CLS program and assess the resources required for positive student learning outcomes. The presenters will outline the process of developing the online second degree CLS program to include the following: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approval process, curriculum development, analysis of resources, delivery of lecture content, delivery of laboratory course work to ensure competency, and clinical education. In conclusion, an analysis and evaluation of outcome results for the online second degree CLS program was performed. For admissions, we receive an average of 125 applications and accept approximately 41 students, annually. A brief comparison of the ASCP board certification outcomes for online second degree CLS program and the traditional face-to-face CLS program shows a pass rate of 90% to 91%, respectively.
