Prospective students interested in learning about Raritan Valley Community College’s new Medical Laboratory Technology program are invited to attend a Virtual Information Session, March 21, from 1-2 p.m. Registration is required for the event, which will be held via Zoom.

Participants will learn about career pathways available in the College’s new Associate of Applied Science degree in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT), which begins in the Fall 2022 Semester. Students also will learn about the program’s application and admission process.

The MLT program will provide students with the foundation in clinical laboratory sciences required for entry into the healthcare field as a Medical Laboratory Technician. It also will prepare students to function effectively as a member of a medical laboratory team. Through a combination of classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences in clinical microbiology, clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology, and urinalysis, students will learn how to perform diagnostic laboratory tests used in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. The program also will prepare students to take the national Medical Laboratory Technician exam to receive certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP). After graduation, students will find career opportunities mainly in medical reference and hospital labs.
