Celebrate Medical Laboratory Professionals Week April 19-25

Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (MLPW) is an annual celebration of laboratory professionals that highlights the vital role laboratorians play as part of a healthcare team. While the valuable work of lab professionals is often behind the scenes, MLPW provides a unique opportunity to increase visibility of the profession, while also having fun.

The UND Department of Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) invites you to join them in celebrating MLPW with the following activities:
