Careers:Medical Laboratory Technologists

Description:

The Medical Laboratory Technology Advanced Diploma program prepares students with the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to become integral members of the health-care team as registered medical laboratory technologists. Through a blend of classroom learning, laboratory activities and clinical placements, students develop the knowledge, technical and critical thinking skills essential to safely and reliably collect, analyze and interpret patient specimens in a fast-paced clinical environment. Students develop the organizational and technical skills to perform their work with efficiency, accuracy and precision in accordance with quality assurance guidelines. 

Students in this in-demand, high-tech health-care program learn to operate sophisticated equipment in all five core disciplines: microbiology, clinical chemistry, transfusion medicine, histology and hematology. The integration of simulation and clinical practicums throughout the curriculum supports learners with gaining the proficiency needed to successfully challenge the CAMLPR field of practice competency assessments.
