Clinical Laboratory Science Training

Benefits and Expenses   Students are given a $1,000 per month stipend paid bi-weekly. If it becomes necessary to extend the program beyond 52 weeks (medical or other emergency), no additional stipends will be issued during that time. The maximum amount of time allowed for program extension is four (4) weeks. Students will sign an Agreement for Services Contract during orientation, which distinguishes them as students, not employees of the institution. Because of this, we cannot offer paid work hours at any hospital with Cottage Health System in addition to the formal training program.   Additional benefits include: Health and dental insurance 10 discretionary days off Lab coats Hepatitis B vaccine is offered to students free of charge   Student expenses are estimated to be approximately $500, and include: Required textbooks Exam fees for licensing / board exams Minor expenses incurred in connection with field trips and seminars Contact Information: For more information, please call, write, or e-mail:   Dr. Lynette Hansen School of Medical Technology Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital P.O.
