'' The Medical Laboratory Assisting program is a thirty-one-week intensive diploma that prepares students, using classroom instructions, clinical sessions and practicum preceptorships, to carry out competent and professional duties in a variety of laboratory settings (hospitals, private laboratories and local community health centres). As part of the overall health care discipline, laboratory assisting is increasingly growing in popularity among practitioners because of its strategic placement in the health care industry.
