Program Goals, Requirements, & Coursework
The Medical Laboratory Technician Program will involve you in 50
weeks of
classroom lecture and laboratory instruction that will enable you to become thoroughly familiar with the
actual
laboratory setting. As the program progresses, the student will
gain knowledge
and understanding by performing clinical procedures in clinical
chemistry,
hematology, blood bank, microbiology, serology, virology, and urinalysis.
The
student then participates in a 10-week clinical externship
to gain hands-
on experience. Students are required to obtain a physical examination,
PPD and
RPR prior to externship. By the end of
the classroom
instruction and externship, you will have received the training
necessary to
allow you to assume routine responsibilities in the laboratory.
This includes
assisting the physician in determining the presence and extent
of disease as
well as the implications for their cause by the use of various laboratory
tests
and procedures.
