Medical Laboratory Technician

The WVC Regional Program includes training at distant sites through agreements with Wenatchee Valley College at Omak, Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, the Community Colleges of Spokane, Columbia Basin College in Pasco, Walla Walla Community College and others. As long as current clinical training agreements continue, most regional MLT students are not required to spend any time training in Wenatchee. They can complete the entire program in their own community with the exception of the programs in Omak and Moses Lake. These students must take the first six-week summer quarter courses in Wenatchee (MLT 150 and 151), and other weeks in the second year as required by the respective programs. The first year MLT series (MLT 100, 101, 102) is completed online through Wenatchee Valley College. An interview is a required component of the acceptance process for students attending in Spokane, Pendleton, Walla Walla, and Tri-Cities.

During the second year, courses MLT 213, 223, 233 and their associated laboratory courses (MLT 214, 224 and 234) are taught by the use of interactive TV classrooms, laboratory or audiovisual materials. Moses Lake area students must spend additional quarters on the Wenatchee campus.
