Concordia College is affiliated with the School of Clinical Laboratory Science at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, N.D. Students must apply to the affiliated hospital for acceptance into the clinical internship by Oct. 1 of their junior (or senior) year and are notified of a decision by Dec. 1. Admission is based on the student’s grade point average (generally 3.0 or better for admission), letters of recommendation, and a mandatory on-site personal interview. Admission is competitive, and students are not guaranteed an internship upon completion of the preprofessional curriculum. However, Concordia students have been very successful in obtaining internship positions.
Clinical training begins in the summer following the junior year. During clinical training, students spend six to 10 hours per week in lectures, workshops and seminars, with the balance of the 40-hour week devoted to structured practical experiences in the clinical laboratory. Courses taken during the internship year are listed below.
