⚠️ COVID-19 Updates for OJC Campus
Medical Laboratory Technicians perform routine medical laboratory procedures and tests. They apply preset strategies to record and analyze data which provide physicians with valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Students prepare for a career in Medical Laboratory Technology through online/hybrid formats, classroom laboratory practice, and supervised clinical experience. Students complete classes in general education along with hematology, clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, immunology /immunohematology, urinalysis, and parasitology/mycology.
The MLT program is designed for the student to graduate with an Associates of Applied Science (AAS) degree in two years. Three semesters are spent at the OJC campus and two semesters are partially spent in clinical rotations at an affiliated clinical facility.
“These graduates will enter a high demand field serving a vital function in patient care.” Angela Tarrant, director of Medical Lab Technician Program, said.
Students are currently able to enroll in the MLT program for the spring 2019 semester. For questions regarding the MLT program, contact Angela Tarrant at (719) 384-6813.
