Do you have a BS degree in Biology or a Science related field?

Your degree matters to our clinical laboratory profession.   

You can use our MLT program at ACM to build on your science skills that you bring from your previous degree to add the clinical diagnostic testing training to your resume. After working in the field for 2 years as an ASCP certified MLT, you can become eligible to take the Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) certification examination offered by American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).

You start the MLT course sequence in a spring semester and you finish in the following spring semester. There is a tremendous shortage of clinical laboratory professionals and in just 16 months, you can join our very science-based allied health career.
