Is a Medical Laboratory Technician program necessary?
The Medical Laboratory Technician, also known as the Clinical Laboratory Technician, is highly encouraged to attend a program accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). While many states still do not require the MLT to have a license or have attended an established program, states such as New York, California and Tennessee not only require having earned an accredited degree, but are setting a standard by requiring licensing and professional certification by associations such as the ASCP (American Society for Clinical Pathology).
