General Information

One of the smartest investments an individual can make is in their professional education. This 3-day review course is designed as a comprehensive review of Clinical Cytogenetics. Cytogenetic personnel eligible to sit for the NCA Clinical Laboratory Specialist in Cytogenetics Exam, CLSp(CG), will have an opportunity to review topics specified in the newly revised NCA content outline.

You will attend approximately 20 hours of lectures in this 3-day period. In addition, you will receive an extensive Study Guide that includes an outline of each subject area, illustrations, practice problems, and other helpful material which will enable you to effectively study and review a large amount of information in a short amount of time.

On the last day of the review course you will have an opportunity to practice taking a mock exam similar to the NCA certification exam. This will help identify those subject areas you are still having difficulty with in sufficient time to correct problem areas before the NCA exam held the last Saturday in July.
