Medical Lab Assistant Programs

Medical laboratory assistants, more commonly referred to as medical laboratory technicians, work in hospitals, private doctors' offices and diagnostic laboratories conducting tests to assess patient specimens for indications of disease. Two-year schools often feature medical laboratory technology associate degree programs that emphasize practical exposure to theory through clinical experience. Program curricula also include modest coursework in medical office management and health care professionalism.
