Chemistry – Clinical Concentration Degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Citadel’s Chemistry, B.A with a Clinical Concentration at The Citadel prepares future clinical chemists. A Clinical chemist conducts research and develops laboratory procedures that help physicians make earlier, more precise diagnoses and tailor therapy for patients. As technology develops – in “hot” areas like molecular biology, vaccine development, or transplant medicine — a clinical chemist applies knowledge to develop practical applications of these advances\u2020<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
