Program Overview

If you’re feeling sick and decide to visit your doctor, he may collect a specimen or sample to test for an illness or disease.  Ever wondered what goes on while you’re waiting for results? This is when a medical laboratory technician (MLT) is working hard to conduct the test, interpret the results, and help your doctor correctly diagnose and treat your symptoms.

Frontier Community College now offers a two-year Medical Laboratory Technician program.

An MLT performs several analytical tests that help physicians diagnose and treat diseases.  Primary job duties include preparing specimens, collecting blood samples, accurately monitoring tests and procedures, matching blood for transfusions, and analyzing the chemical content of fluids.  Technicians are expected to handle sophisticated lab equipment that searches for microorganisms, including cell counters, microscopes, and automated analyzers.  MLTs also have diverse functions in the areas of clinical decision-making, information management, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance.
