COC Medical Laboratory Technician Class Of 2020 Passes Certification Exam Despite Challenges
College of the Canyons announced this past Wednesday that its Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) class of 2020 students have all passed their board exams on their first attempts.
The students passed the American Society for Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) National Board Exam, a certification exam for laboratory technicians, on their first tries despite challenges due to the pandemic.
“Several students had to face clinical site displacement because sites were unable to train students due to COVID restrictions,” said Dr. Hencelyn Chu, an MLT professor at the college. “Although there were many challenges, all of the students graduated on time and passed the national board exams the first time that they took the exam.”
