Medical Laboratory Technology is a part of the healthcare team that provides the physician with information used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease or injury. MLTs are scientists who hunt for clues to determine the presence or absence of disease. We also perform general tests in all laboratory areas - Blood Bank, Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology, and Microbiology - in order to determine the extent and cause of disease. Eighty percent of medical decisions are based on laboratory results.
