Medical Laboratory Technology Program
Certificate
of Proficiency
Medical Laboratory Technology
Medical Laboratory personnel examine, analyze and test
clinical specimens such as cells, blood and other body fluids
to aid in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of
disease. Graduates of this program will be prepared to
perform laboratory tasks assigned by the medical technologist,
the pathologist or the physician. These tasks typically
include the preparation of specimens, operation of
automatic analyzers and performance of routine laboratory
tests. The curriculum provides students with a foundation
in the general sciences including biology, microbiology,
general chemistry, organic and biochemistry,
human anatomy and physiology. Students must complete
these basic program and general education requirements
prior to entering the second year of the program.
During the second year students focus on all aspects of
the medical laboratory technology curriculum. Students
attend classroom lectures and gain “hands-on” experience
in on-campus student laboratories. Laboratory
practicums are completed in professional medical and
hospital laboratories. After successful completion of the
program, graduates are eligible to take national certification
examinations for Medical Laboratory Technician
(MLT) or Clinical Laboratory Technician (CLT).
