Frequently Asked Questions – B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology

MLTs wear personal protective equipment daily to protect themselves from biohazardous materials they work with such as blood, urine, feces and cerebral spinal fluid. MLTs are very aware of the biohazard materials they work with and take steps to reduce infecting workspaces and others.

MLTs will prepare samples such as blood, bodily fluids and tissues for diagnostic testing.

MLTs analyze samples using sophisticated technology, instruments and computers, as well as perform manual techniques to obtain patient results.

Yes. MLTs require physical dexterity (especially hand dexterity) to perform manual techniques and invasive procedures.

MLTs frequently perform multiple procedures simultaneously which requires strong organizational skills and effective time management. MLTs also have strong skills in math, organization, adaptability and communication while maintaining meticulous attention to detail and high standards.

MLTs must make critical decisions when evaluating analytical results for accuracy and validity. Additionally, they must correlate the results to clinical states prior to releasing test information to physicians. Physicians rely on the laboratory results to diagnose, treat, monitor and prevent disease.
