In this program, you will learn how to:

• Perform laboratory procedures involving body fluids in the areas of hematology, microbiology, immunohematology, immunology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis.
• Operate automated analyzers.
• Monitor quality control programs.

Upon completion of this program, you will be eligible to sit for national certification as a Medical Laboratory Technician.
