| Medical Laboratory Technicians perform biological tests in search of diagnostic clues as evidence of health or disease. In the search for data on a patient's health, people working in this field may examine specimens through a microscope or perform, for example, the tests necessary to match a donated unit of blood to a patient in need of that unit. They may identify the microorganisms associated with health and disease. They are also competent operators of the computers and complex instrumentation which are used in most areas of today's laboratories. The Medical Technician plays a vital role in patient care by performing the full range of laboratory testing in six major areas of the laboratory: Hematology, Immunology, Microbiology, Body Fluids, Blood Banking, and Chemistry. Technicians may choose to advance, by education or experience, to the levels of Medical Technologist or specialist. MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY - CURRICULUM REQUIREMENT: The following coursework must be successfully completed to earn to A.A.S. degree in Medical Laboratory Technology. |

|||
| After BCC… then what? | |||
| Employment may be found in hospital laboratories, physician offices, clinics, commercial firms such as pharmaceutical companies, all types of research facilities, the armed forces, public health centers, and veterinary clinics. Wherever they work, the technicians and technologist in this field share a strong desire to help others, a love of challenge and responsibility, and the ability to complete a wide variety of scientific tests accurately and reliably. Pre-admission advisement is recommended. Salaries are currently competitive and are expected to continue to rise further over the next several years. Successful completion of national certification examinations after graduation affords mobility, job security, and access to positions in almost any area of the country. |
