Medical Laboratory Assisting

Medical laboratory assistants are the "face of the lab," working in public and private healthcare settings alongside technologists, physicians and patients.

Through NAIT’s Medical Laboratory Assisting program, you'll gain hands-on experience in specimen collection, lab procedures, ECGs, phlebotomy, urinalysis, data entry and reception services. Your training culminates with a seven-week clinical placement at one of our partner labs. As a graduate, you can work in both private and public laboratories. This program will help you develop the skills needed to thrive in this growing healthcare profession.
