Our clinical program can be adapted to be given one day a week over 6 weeks or every other week for 12 weeks - or over a weekend.... so that all members of your clinical lab can attend!  We can present just 4 hours of lecture each day, two times, so that the lab can continue to function.  FloCyte is also accredited with the state of California to offer Continuing Education Units for Clinical Laboratory Scientists, which are recognized by the ASCP toward your Qualification in Cytometry requirements.  Please contact FloCyte for information on how this valuable program can be implemented at your institution!
