UW-La Crosse senior Michelle Zullo is one of five students nationwide to receive a $2,000 scholarship from the American Proficiency Institute (API).
“It is remarkable to find students that make such sacrifices to pursue their passion for medical laboratory science,” says Daniel C. Edson, president of API. “We are pleased to continue to support the future of the laboratory profession.”
Zullo has always had a goal or improving the health and well-being of others. “I originally thought the best way to do this was by attending medical and graduate school,” she says. “However, while working in the laboratory I realized that I loved the bench and the hands-on work with research. The results will have a direct impact on the lives of all who pass through the hospital.”
Michael Lazzari, UW-L Clinical Laboratory Science Program Director, says Zullo will be a valuable asset to any laboratory team. “I foresee her having a great impact on this profession, “ says Lazzari.
The American Proficiency Institute is one of the largest proficiency testing providers in the world, serving more than 19,000 laboratories. API provides testing needs of hospital laboratories, physician offices, clinics and point-of-care testing sites.
