The Medical Laboratory Sciences Program arranges clinical practicum placements for each student. Clinical practicum placements are located in a variety of accredited facilities throughout Manitoba. Students are responsible for travel, accommodation arrangements and costs to, during and from their clinical experience. Students continue with their didactic studies thru on-line learning while on their clinical practicum placement and reliable internet access is required.
Note: For clinical site assignment, students input their preferences for clinical practicum placements however; there is no guarantee that a student will receive a clinical assignment from their list of preferred sites. Students must be prepared to attend their assigned placement at any of the clinical sites in the province.
