The mission of the Department of Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences is to advance clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic practices in health care through excellence in teaching developed within a culture of interprofessional collaboration.
The Department of Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences is the academic home of five undergraduate programs, two certificate programs and 3 graduate programs that each focus on different aspects of clinical care:
- Clinical Laboratory Science – chemistry, microbiology, medical laboratory analysis
- Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound – anatomy, physiology, medical imaging using sound waves
- Nuclear Medicine – physiology, oncology, medical imaging using radioisotopes
- Radiography – anatomy, medical imaging using radiation and magnetic fields
