Program
Structure:
The
program offers its MLT courses
online. All non-MLT prefixed
courses may be taken online
as well. Any courses not taken
at SCC must be transferred
in with a grade of “C”
or better and approved by
the registrar’s office.
Labs are offered concurrently
and can be completed on campus
or in the student’s
geographical area at a pre-approved
clinical facility. Contact
the program director for guidelines
on selecting an off-campus
clinical facility for performance
of laboratory skills.
Clinical rotations take place
in the second year of the
program and may be completed
in the student’s geographical
area at an approved clinical
facility/affiliate. The clinical
education will be provided
at cooperating hospitals or
other healthcare facilities.
In the MLT program the full
Spring Semester 2 is spent
in one or more clinical facilities
for practical experience in
the clinical laboratory, under
supervision. During clinical
education, the student will
rotate through all departments
of the laboratory including:
Hematology, Hemostasis, Urinalysis,
Chemistry, Phlebotomy, Microbiology,
Serology, and Blood Bank.
Emphasis is placed on attaining
competency and proficiency
in the performance of laboratory
procedures, correlating theory
and practice and demonstrating
prescribed professional behavior.
