Florence M. Cook School of Medical Laboratory Science

The Florence M. Cook of Medical Laboratory Science was founded in 1947 when Carlos Pons, M.D., pathologist at Fitkin-Raleigh Hospital, now known as Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and medical technologist Florence M. Cook, undertook the task of training two students at the bench. From that humble inception, our school has grown to be the structured program we have today.

Our school has graduated more than 400 students who have careers at hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, research labs, information technology, and physicians.

Become a critical member of the health care team
Medical laboratory scientists are critical members of the health care team. They work side by side with other health care professionals performing lab procedures that help determine the causes and cures of diseases. Identifying these causes and cures is done by analyzing samples of body tissues and fluids with sophisticated precision instruments. This rewarding profession requires a broad background in college sciences and in-depth clinical training.
