Our HTL program gets similar types of applicants. They usually go and take their remaining courses in one semester and will then qualify.
Ensuring that they meet the required pre-requisites by communicating with them early on helps.
They also have to meet the requirements set forth by ASCP for certification. I know for MLS there are not as many routes for certification as with other areas.
Changing requirements can influence how a program is perceived.
There is a shortage in all areas of lab medicine, and it will not be going away soon. Supporting your local program by taking students helps tremendously. Quick fixes cannot be sustained in the long run.

To enroll into MT program requires credits in Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology...
There are many candidates with Chemistry Major or just Microbiology major or Biology major. These candidates do not qualify for MT one year program because they do not have full course requirement.
Can it be possible to create short program of one specialty clinical rotation?
Chemistry for chemistry major, Hematology or Blood bank for Biology major?

Greetings,
The Montefiore Medical system in New York partnered with Bronx Community colleges' MLT program to help intern students at their clinical laboratories. This allowed the program to increase the number of students we can enroll thereby increasing the number of students we can graduate and transition into the laboratories and senior colleges for MLS studies. Please feel free to share this video amongst your network and also encourage laboratories across our beautiful nation to engage with their local lab science and pathology programs to intern students. Help us answer the call to reducing the workforce shortage. Out of the shadows and into the light.
