PROGRAM GOALS
As an important member of the health care team, it is the Medical Laboratory Technologist who assesses the types of blood cells and microorganisms that cause disease, provides chemical analysis of blood and body fluids, performs the processing of tissue samples for microscopic evaluation, and determines the compatibility of blood for transfusion.

This program will appeal to students with a love and knowledge of sciences. They should have good manual dexterity, and must be able to work accurately and quickly under pressure with the ability to make decisions which directly affect the diagnosis and treatment of disease. It’s also important to have a professional and caring attitude.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
A nationwide shortage of Medical Laboratory Technologists exists in Canada. Graduates are employed as medical technologists, research assistants, quality control technicians and laboratory technicians in hospitals, public and private medical laboratories, in clinical research and pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as in sales or technical assistance.

CLINICAL PLACEMENTS
Employers who provide our clinical placement settings require a police record check for criminal offenses before accepting a student into the clinical setting. The record check shall be obtained at the student’s expense. Appropriate forms will be provided by the College after acceptance into the program. The College assumes no obligation for ensuring clinical placement or program completion for students who are unable to provide a clear police record check.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Accepted applicants must submit proof of a satisfactory medical examination and immunization including Hepatitis B.

DEGREE COMPLETION
Students who graduate with a GPA of 3.0 or greater, may receive advanced standing in up to 17 credits out of the 30 required for a Bachelor of Science (General Science) degree at the University of Windsor.
