Is detail work easy for you?

Then MLT is for you!

This is a distance-delivered program with most of the classes available online through PCC. Clinical laboratory practice will be completed at local area medical laboratories, although some day or weekend-travel to other labs may be necessary throughout the program. Prerequisite classes and electives can be taken at RCC. Acceptance into the PCC MLT Program is on a very limited basis, dependent on clinical space available. Preference is given to students already working at a local medical facility.

Your steps to get started through RCC are:

1. Find out about the PCC MLT Program
2. Call 956-7040 for local advising information and space available for entry into the PCC MLT program.
3. Get your pre-requisites taken care of at RCC. You can do that by a combination of:
   • Testing out of them using our free placement test exam
   • Getting them waived by showing prior college transcripts to an advisor and/or
   • taking the prerequisite classes at RCC.
