Allied Health Professionals at Piedmont
To combat the growing shortage of healthcare professionals, Piedmont has made significant monetary commitments to local technical schools and colleges to ensure we empower, educate and train the best candidates to be tomorrow's caregivers. We also work cooperatively with students and graduates through scholarship programs, internships and mentoring.
Piedmont is working to increase those numbers of healthcare employees by offering Allied Health Professional Education through its Harry T. Harper Jr. M.D., School of Cardiac and Vascular Technology, the Stephen W. Brown School of Radiography and the School of Clinical Laboratory Science.

- School of Clinical Laboratory Science
To meet the high demand for Clinical Laboratory Scientists, Piedmont partnered with the University of South Carolina-Aiken to create a Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) Program in May 2019. In the CLS Program, students can become certified Clinical Laboratory Scientist and receive a CLS bachelor's degree. The entry-level bachelor’s degree prepares students for work in a clinical laboratory setting, which includes clinical hematology, hemostasis, urinalysis, immunology, chemistry, microbiology, mycology, parasitology, phlebotomy, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics and blood bank (immunohematology).
