Program overview

What Portland Community College says about their program:
"The Portland Community College MLT program provides high-quality education in an atmosphere that recognizes the potential of each student and supports a comprehensive and innovative approach to meet the needs of Oregon’s healthcare community. The Medical Laboratory Technology Program, nationally known for its excellent and realistic education, provides traditional campus-based courses as well as extensive experience in actual clinical laboratories.


The campus-based courses are taught at Cascade Campus in the newly remodeled Jackson Hall. Here, the lecture and laboratory exercises focus on up-to-date theory, learning manual techniques, instrumentation, problem-solving, and application of knowledge. The facilities are modern and well equipped for this purpose.


To begin the transition to “real world” medical technology, you spend time in a simulated laboratory setting (SimLab) at the Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital. Here, you receive instruction using actual clinical specimens in a laboratory environment.


Finally, in the affiliate laboratories, you continue to develop your understanding of principles, mastery of basic skills, and professionalism. Every aspect of the students’ education on campus, in the SimLab, and in affiliate labs has been designed to be as thorough as possible to prepare graduates as healthcare professionals in clinical laboratory medicine."
