Medical Laboratory Technology
A partnership with
Blue Mountain Community College,
Wenatchee Valley College,
Interpath Laboratory, and
Good Shepherd Hospital.
Blue Mountain Community College and Wenatchee Valley College have partnered to bring the Medical Laboratory Technician program to Eastern Oregon. Many opportunities await those choosing careers in medicine and science. One of the most rewarding is medical laboratory technology. As members of the medical team, technicians work side by side with medical technologists and pathologists and have relatively less contact with patients. Medical laboratory technicians (MLT's) perform a great variety of scientific laboratory procedures, utilizing automated computerized instrumentation, all of which aid in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
In addition to employment in medical laboratories, graduates pursue positions in research, molecular biology, industry and veterinary laboratories, as well as medical supply and equipment sales.

The MLT program can be completed in Wenatchee or through our regional partnerships. There is also an option available to students who have previously completed a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in the physical, chemical or biological sciences. See Admission Requirements link below for more information.
