Distance learning and on-campus students in clinical laboratory science programs show similar academic performance. Graduates from both formats achieved comparable GPAs and certification scores, indicating equivalent preparation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Laboratory Science
  • Distance Learning

Background:

  • The rise of distance learning presents opportunities for flexible education in specialized fields like Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS).
  • Assessing the academic parity between distance and traditional on-campus CLS programs is crucial for program quality and graduate preparedness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate potential differences in academic performance between distance and on-campus CLS students.
  • To compare final GPAs and certification examination scores of graduates from different educational delivery modes.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative, causal-comparative research design was employed.
  • Graduate data from a CLS program at a US academic health sciences university were analyzed.

  • Academic performance was measured by comparing final GPAs and certification scores of distance versus on-campus learners.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences were observed in mean overall admission GPA, math science admission GPA, final GPA, or overall certification scores.
    • Distance learners were significantly older on average than on-campus students.
    • Distance CLS students significantly outperformed on-campus students in the urinalysis subcategory of the certification exam.

    Conclusions:

    • Distance learning CLS graduates demonstrate academic preparedness equivalent to their on-campus counterparts.
    • The findings support the efficacy of distance education in preparing students for successful careers in clinical laboratory science.
