We pride ourselves on providing exceptional programs to our students across the board, but we’re particularly thrilled to say that our Medical Laboratory Technology-Hybrid program was granted two-year ‘accreditation with condition’ status in 2023, through EQual – Accreditation Canada. As a new program, ‘accreditation with condition’ is the highest status that a program can receive.
Students must graduate from an accredited educational program to qualify to complete the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) certifying examinations in Canada and register with the College of Medical Laboratory Technologist of Ontario (CMLTO) to be eligible to work in Ontario.
MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY HYBRID
Based on the national competency profile issued by the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS), this two-year, full-time, fast-paced Medical Laboratory Technology Hybrid program trains students to become skilled in applying the scientific, technical, and medical principles needed to perform and evaluate laboratory testing in a healthcare setting. As part of Canada’s fourth largest group of healthcare professionals, medical laboratory technologists play an integral role in our healthcare system.
The first year of the Medical Laboratory Technology Hybrid program consists of classroom instruction and laboratory training. The second year consists of online theory instruction and an extensive clinical practicum at affiliated laboratory sites in and around Ontario. The practicum portion provides a range of clinical experiences where students integrate and apply their learned theory, skills, and professionalism in simulated and/or practical settings. In the last term, students will write practice competency-based exams in preparation for writing the national CSMLS certification exam.
Note: Students in this program require access to a personal computer with a built-in or external camera and the Internet to facilitate completion of the program.
