A nontraditional approach to medical laboratory technology education. 1978

M L Turgeon

The nontraditional program in medical laboratory technology for adult students was initiated at Corning Community College in 1975. The overall design of the model permits adults who have gained knowledge and skills as a result of their work experience to have opportunities for the assessment of these learnings and for flexible, modular instruction to increase their level of competency in medical technology. The central goal of this model is to increase the educational alternatives available to the adult population, specifically, the working adult in the medical laboratory. This approach enables individuals who are currently employed to attain an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree and eligibility for certification as a medical (clinical) laboratory technician.
