They perform diagnostic procedures in the health care setting, such as chemical analysis of body fluids, classification of blood cells, identification of disease producing microorganisms, and the selection of compatible donor blood for transfusion. The Medical Laboratory Technology Associate Degree program is designed to prepare graduates to perform laboratory procedures in a variety of settings. Career and employment opportunities include hospitals, research and reference laboratories, public health and veterinary facilities, and environmental and quality assurance laboratories. Graduates may also pursue careers in marketing, sales and customer service.The first four semesters of the Medical Laboratory program provide the students with entry-level knowledge and skills in clinical chemistry, clinical microbiology, hematology, immunohematology, immunology, and phlebotomy in a classroom laboratory setting. This training is enriched during the fifth semester of the program when students have the opportunity to apply their previously acquired knowledge and skills in an actual working environment. Affiliated hospital and private laboratories located within our service district of approximately 60-miles around Columbus will be utilized for this clinical practicum experience.Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to take the certification examination administered by the Board of Certification of the American Society for Clinical Pathology and become a certified MLT (ASCP). With additional education and/or technical experience, graduates may also advance in the field to become a Medical Laboratory Scientist, research specialist, manager or educator.The Medical Laboratory Technology program at Columbus State is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) at 5600 N. River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018-5119, telephone 773-714-8880. The program has produced hundreds of graduates since it began in 1978 who have consistently met or exceeded the national average on credentialing examinations.The Medical Laboratory Technology program delivers all program technical lecture courses in a web-based format (online) and the technical laboratories are offered face-to-face in the campus laboratories located in Union Hall."},"ceterms:dateEffective":"2014-08-25","ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":192.93,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:Tuition","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Tuition"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost for teaching and instruction."}}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":212.0,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:EnrollmentFee","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Enrollment Fee"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost to enroll in the learning opportunity being described."}}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1071.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1071.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in health specialties, in fields such as dentistry, laboratory technology, medicine, pharmacy, public health, therapy, and veterinary medicine."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-1124.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"29-1124.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Radiation Therapists"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Provide radiation therapy to patients as prescribed by a radiation oncologist according to established practices and standards.
