MATC TRAINS MORE CLINICAL LABORATORY TECHNICIANS
WITH ACCELERATED PROGRAM
Program addresses critical shortage in state for trained clinical laboratory technicians
To address a critical need for more trained clinical laboratory technicians in Wisconsin, Madison Area Technical College (MATC) has developed an accelerated Clinical Laboratory Technician program that allows students, particularly in rural areas, to complete a two-year degree in slightly over one year. Due to this program, the 10 individuals currently enrolled will be able to advance in or begin careers as clinical laboratory technicians following their graduation. An added benefit has been the transition of some of these students from the traditional program’s waiting list to the accelerated program, which allows more students to be accepted into the two-year program. see press release
