Allegany College of Maryland's Medical Laboratory Technology Curriculum was started in 1973. The program is primarily a two-year career program. Traditionally, the program has trained graduates to work in patient care laboratories. The program now has a number of options to diversify the employment opportunities available to its graduates. The new options give graduates opportunities outside of clinical laboratories in settings such as biotechnology laboratories in which to gain employment. The program includes both part-time and full-time students.
