抖阴热门-Weber State University Microbiology Certificate Program

In partnership with Weber State University, we developed a certificate program that offers an affordable and efficient option for individuals with a bachelor's degree in a qualifying field to receive the education and training needed to work in a clinical microbiology laboratory.

Promotion of Clinical and Public Health Microbiology Careers

One of the ways to increase visibility of the clinical and public health microbiology profession is by engaging students in middle school, high school and at the undergraduate level. 抖阴热门 has identified K-12 and undergraduate counsellor and educator conferences, held around the country, to distribute prepared materials and information about the profession.
