I am quite pleased to welcome you to the MLA/T program. Health Science education is challenging, but we are looking forward to helping you reach your academic and career aspirations. To this end, please review the enclosed information in order to prepare for your classroom experiences, laboratory sessions and clinical placements. There are a number of items that require your attention, many of which must be completed prior to beginning your studies. A detailed checklist is provided in this document package. Experience has shown that the first few months of achievement in Health Sciences programs are critical to the success of each and every student. In an attempt to assist with your preparation for entry into the School of Health Sciences, an orientation will be offered again this year . Orientation information and schedules will be posted on the Northern College website in August. The MLA/T program includes clinical practice hours beginning in the spring semester. In order to protect their clients, their employees and placement students, the agencies that host these placements must ensure that you meet certain requirements prior to attending. You are responsible for reviewing and completing all of the clinical requirements included in this package and submitting required documents by the indicated deadlines. You will also need to purchase some additional items required for laboratory and clinical attendance, as outlined below. Please refrain from purchasing these items until after the program orientation in September as additional details will be presented at that time. | Program | Uniform | Lab Coat | Shoes | Stethoscope | Lab Kit | Approximate Cost | | --- Source: [https://www.northerncollege.ca/uploads/2022/02/Medical-Lab-Technician.pdf](https://www.northerncollege.ca/uploads/2022/02/Medical-Lab-Technician.pdf)
