In our Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) Training Program, students learn to identify findings like Mott cells, plasma cells filled with immunoglobulin inclusions. These can be linked to multiple myeloma, plasma cell disorders, chronic inflammation and certain infections. Training the next generation of MLS professionals helps ensure that patients continue to have life-saving cancer diagnostics. Applications for the Mass General Brigham MLS Training program are open. Apply by September 21, 2026 to join the January 2027 cohort and take the first step toward your future in healthcare. spklr.io/6017ETzpb
