Medical Laboratory Technology

Students who want to be a Medical Lab Tech will enroll in the pre-Medical Laboratory Technology program (A55280RT) and work with their Education Navigator to meet the minimum requirements needed to apply to the program. 

The pre-medical laboratory program is designed as a preparation track and does not lead to a degree. Students who decide not to pursue Medical Laboratory Technology will need to work with their Education Navigator to transition into a different degree pathway.

This program prepares students to perform the clinical laboratory procedures in chemistry, hematology, hemostasis, microbiology, urinalysis, and immunohematology needed to enter the field of medical laboratory technology.

The Medical Laboratory Technology program is offered in collaboration with Sandhills Community College. Students interested in this program can start their journey at CCCC by completing prerequisite courses and then apply and transfer to the college of their choice when they are ready. Classes at CCCC can be taken at any campus and can be taken online or seated. Classes at Sandhills Community College are offered seated at their Moore County campus in Pinehurst, NC. A clinical rotation is required for this program.
