Ringkasan program

This program combines classroom learning, hands-on laboratory procedures, and a clinical practicum to train skilled laboratory technicians. Students learn the techniques and theories necessary to work in a medical or clinical laboratory. These techniques emphasize skills in phlebotomy, body fluid analysis, hematology, chemistry, microbiology, immunology, and immunohematology. Students also learn the theories and principles behind the tests they perform and learn to correlate the results with patients’ conditions. Upon completion of the program’s classroom phase, students spend 25 weeks in a clinical learning experience at an approved hospital. Students are supervised by the hospital’s medical technologists and through periodic visits from ATC program instructors. MLT students are encouraged to write both the Board of Registry exam given by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the Clinical Laboratory Technician exam given by the National Certification Agency. The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees range from 64 to 85 credits and include at least 18 semester credits of general education. Students must select courses from at least three goal areas of the MnTC.
