(5 semesters) The CLT program offers an Associate in Applied Science degree from Calhoun Community College which prepares graduates for eligibility to take a national certification examination in Clinical Laboratory Science (MLT/CLT). You may attend classes at Calhoun Community College. The clinical education component of the program will be at clinical sites in the areas close to your base campus. Overview The clinical laboratory professional is qualified by academic and applied science education to provide service and research in clinical laboratory science and related areas in rapidly changing and dynamic healthcare delivery systems. CLT professionals perform, evaluate, correlate, and assure accuracy and validity of laboratory information; direct clinical lab resources and operations; and collaborate in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. CLT professionals practice independently and collaboratively; possess excellent oral communication skills to engage in consultative interactions with members of the healthcare team, customer service and patient education; and demonstrate ethical and moral attitudes and principles that are necessary for gaining and maintaining the confidence of patients, professional associates and the community. The ability to relate to people, a capacity for calm and reasoned judgment, and a demonstration of commitment to the patient are essential qualities.
