Program Description

MLT’s prepare and analyze specimens of blood and body fluids using microscopes, analyzers and other sophisticated laboratory equipment and computerized instruments .  Lab technicians usually work under the supervision of medical and clinical laboratory technologists.

The Medical Laboratory Technician program is a partnership between Manhattan Area Technical College and Seward County Community College (SCCC). Students enroll with SCCC for the lecture portion of the program, which they will access online directly from SCCC. Students then enroll at MATC for the lab and clinical portions of the training and complete these at facilities provided by MATC and regional healthcare providers.
