It is with excitement that CTS Canadian Career College is now offering a 50 week Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technician program (including a 225 hour placement): Another new addition to our Health Sciences program offerings.
Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technicians (MLAT) perform a vital role in the medical laboratory team. They are trained in the collection of specimens from patients, the initial processing and preparation of specimens for analysis, data entry, clerical services, performance of electrocardiograms (ECG’s), and a variety of essential laboratory procedures.
This program will prepare you to apply for employment in a variety of laboratory settings. The program consists of theory, practical skills application, and practicum components.
