The Medical Laboratory Technician program prepares students for a rewarding career in laboratory medicine through in-person instruction, laboratory training, and clinical experiences. The program leads students through learning the normal function of the body to different diseases/disorders and how to identify them. Students develop skills in multiple laboratory departments while learning to perform diagnostic testing used in patient care.
