Mission Statement
It is the mission of the MLT program to respond to the needs of the community by educating students to perform a wide variety of clinical laboratory procedures and prepare these students to perform competently as Medical Laboratory Technicians upon graduation.
Medical Laboratory Technician
Medical laboratory technicians are trained to perform a variety of diagnostic tests on blood and other body fluids and thus provide physicians with valuable information needed to care for patients. Campus facilities, area hospital and commercial laboratories provide an authentic environment where students practice basic procedures, learn interpersonal skills, study diseases, and relate laboratory medicine to other aspects of health care.
Phlebotomy Technician Course
Phlebotomists are trained to safely collect and handle blood specimens from patients. Students learn both interpersonal and technical skills in the classroom setting, student laboratory, as well as in area hospital laboratories.
For more information on the above programs see the current college catalogue or call the Program Director, Debra Lynn Eckman, at 215- 641-6487 or email: deckman@mc3.edu.
