Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) are known as the “diagnostic detectives” of medicine. They perform a wide range of laboratory tests including microscopic examination of blood, identification of bacteria and viruses and other laboratory testing that can lead to the diagnosis of diseases such as AIDS, diabetes, and cancer. A hospital’s ability to help patients relies heavily on skilled MLTs running tests and analyzing results.
