Medical Laboratory Technician
Overview
The Quincy College Medical Laboratory Technician program consists of didactic and campus laboratory courses designed to provide the student with entry-level knowledge and skills to perform clinical laboratory procedures in chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunohematology, immunology, and phlebotomy. This training is enriched when the students will have the opportunity to apply previously acquired knowledge and skills in a supervised working environment. Clinical affiliate laboratories in and surrounding Quincy within an approximate 60-mile radius will be utilized for the clinical experience.
Upon successful completion of the program, an Associate of Science Degree in Medical Laboratory Technology is awarded. Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examination for Medical Laboratory Technology offered by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) Board of Registry.
