Note: Students may opt to take BIOL103R Human Biology instead of BIOL201R A&P I; however, the HCAP certificate requires BIOL201R and BIOL202R to satisfy requirements for graduation. The AS in Medical Laboratory Technician does not require A&P I or Med Term to satisfy degree requirements for graduation, although they will provide a solid foundation for the MLT courses.
Note: The AS in Medical Laboratory Technician degree does nor require Legal and Ethical Issues in Healthcare, although this course will provide a good foundation for the MLT program.
MLTC126R Intro to Lab Procedures may be taken in place of BIOL205R or CHEM140R in the HCAP certificate.
