Cert in Cytogénétique clinique (AEC)

This Attestation of College Studies (AEC) program trains students in clinical cytogenetics, the laboratory analysis of human tissue and chromosome samples used to identify and report genetic abnormalities that support medical diagnosis. The program runs 9 months and combines specimen-processing and chromosome-analysis coursework with laboratory-based practical training. It leads to an Attestation of College Studies (AEC) and is restricted to applicants who already hold specialized biomedical laboratory credentials, reflecting its status as advanced training rather than an entry-level health science program. Graduates work in clinical cytogenetics laboratories performing sample preparation, chromosome examination, and abnormality reporting that contributes to the diagnosis of genetic conditions. The program is offered by the college's continuing-education division and is presented alongside its companion cytotechnology AEC as a specialized pathway for biomedical laboratory technologists seeking advanced clinical-laboratory training.
