Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) Associate of Applied Science
East Central College offers the MLT program through the Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC) and is coordinated through Moberly Area Community College. Medical Laboratory Technicians occupy an essential function on the healthcare team. This group of professionals focuses on laboratory specimens and techniques that provide physicians with test results for medical decisions.
After all classes and clinical requirements are completed within the MHPC MLT Program, students graduate from their home campus. The MHPC MLT Program is full-time only, with courses offered in a specific sequence. Each summer, an average of thirty students are selected to begin the program in the fall. The professional year of the program (MLT coursework) is designed to be completed within 12 months beginning in August and ending the following August. When students have successfully completed the Medical Laboratory Technician program, they will be eligible to take the American Society for Clinical Pathology certification examination.
Prerequisites/General Education: A selective admission process is utilized. Students must have a “C” or better in prerequisite coursework and a cumulative college GPA of 2.5.
