| The Medical Laboratory
Technology (MLT) Program of Wytheville Community College (WCC) is
partnering with SwVCC to offer training necessary for an associate degree
in MLT on the SwVCC campus. Students can take lecture classes via
distance learning and laboratory sessions on the SwVCC campus without
traveling to Wytheville.
Clinical training necessary for the program
will be conducted in local area hospitals. Graduates of the MLT Program are
prepared to perform and evaluate a wide variety of procedures ranging from
blood collection to the use of automated computerized instruments in the
clinical laboratory. Analytical skills acquired as an MLT are transferable
to a variety of other laboratory settings such as industrial,
pharmaceutical, agricultural, and reference laboratories. The MLT Program of
WCC can also be an important step toward advanced careers in the clinical
laboratory, medicine, research, marketing, management, and education. For
