Medical Laboratory Technology
Medical laboratory technicians play an important role in the practice of modern medicine.
They perform diagnostic procedures in the health care setting, such as chemical analysis
of body fluids, classification of blood cells, identification of disease producing
microorganisms, and the selection of compatible donor blood for transfusion.
Tremendous advances in modern medicine have resulted in an increased demand for diagnostic
laboratory tests. The Medical Laboratory program is designed to prepare graduates
to perform laboratory procedures in a variety of settings. Career and employment opportunities
are available in hospital clinic, and reference laboratories. Public health, research,
and veterinary facilities also employ MLTs.
