AB  - Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) revised and reactivated its former 2+2 NAACLS accredited program in 2006, by instituting an innovative 3+1 approach. With the efforts of the community laboratories, FGCU instituted an innovative structure which made its CLS program more viable by greatly reducing expenses of operation without sacrificing the quality of education.ABBREVIATIONS: CLS = Clinical Laboratory Science; FGCU = Florida Gulf Coast University; BS = Bachelor of Science; NAACLS = National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences; ASCP = American Society for Clinical Pathology; ETA Employment and Training Administration
