This program is designed to prepare Clinical Laboratory Technicians/Medical Laboratory Technicians, under the supervision of Clinical Laboratory Scientists/Medical Technologists, to perform medical laboratory procedures. The CLT/MLT graduate will be competent in applying theory to practice and employ laboratory strategies in recording and analyzing data/results. The program includes instruction in general laboratory procedures and skills; laboratory mathematics; medical computer applications; interpersonal and communications skills; the basic principles of hematology; medical microbiology; immunohematology; immunology; serology; clinical chemistry, and body fluids/urinalysis. Graduates of the program can expect a favorable job market with increasing needs and growth opportunities. Fall admission only.

The graduate of this program will be eligible to sit for the New York State Medical Laboratory Technician Licensing exam and for the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board of Certification (BOC) certification exam.*

*The NYS Office of Professions has agreed to use the ASCP BOC exam. Graduates will need to go through two application processes and pay two application fees, but they will only have to pass one exam.
