The main objective of this course is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge to the entry-level Health Science Specialist.
An Accredited College/University offering Health Science programs opens a pathway for the students who can participate and in Federal Government or State Government funded Institution. The organization that accredits health science programs in the USA are listed below:
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science (NAACLS)
Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES)
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)
