Through our partnership with SUNY Broome Community College, our MLT Pathway Program allows full-time employees of partners within the UVM Health Network to continue earning full-time wages and benefits while studying to complete their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree as a Clinical Laboratory Technician.
Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT), also commonly known as Clinical Lab Technicians (CLT) are responsible for performing tests and analysis on blood, urine, spinal fluid and tissue. They are responsible for operating, maintaining and troubleshooting sophisticated biomedical instrumentation and technology. Laboratory testing includes disciplines in chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology (transfusion medicine), microbiology, molecular biology, anatomic pathology and cytopathology.
