Louisana University possibly dropping clinical lab program

Louisiana State University at Alexandria's Clinical Lab program is facing funding issues and may be dropped from the program. According to The Town Talk, it is in trouble due to the budget troubles facing the university. Should this program be cut, the area surrounding the university will be affected. There will be a shortage of medical professionals in the local area reaching as far as the local hospitals, there will not be staff to replace the Boomers who are currently retiring with no professionals to replace them. Although small enrollment is common for clinical labs programs throughout the country, there are currently six students enrolled in the program, which makes it a reason for the potential cut.
