Medical Laboratory Technology... Detecting Today's Medical Mysteries

Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLTs) perform tests that help diagnose and treat diseases, detect medical mysteries like HIV/AIDS and recently helped track the trail of the recent Anthrax strain back to its source.

Trained MLTs look for clues in tests to determine the absence, presence, extent and cause of disease.
