Medical Laboratory Assistant
Medical Laboratory Assistants (MLAs),
sometimes known as clinical support workers, help scientists and medical
staff to diagnose and treat patients. They work throughout the health
service industry on wards, and in clinics and laboratories.
Medical lab assistants are a necessary part of the patient diagnosis process. They are constantly analyzing body tissue and fluid samples taken from patients at hospitals, clinics or physicians' offices. Most medical laboratory assistants work under the direction of lab technologists and scientists. They are responsible for making chemical solutions and stocks of culture media, sterilizing equipment, labeling and sorting tissue samples, operating equipment and using computer programs to analyze test results.
NTI's Medical Laboratory Assistant program is unique in that it prepares and qualifies a graduate to work in three separate positions: Medical Lab Assistant, Phlebotomy/EKG Technician, or as an Emergency Room Technician.
