The American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification's Research and Development Committee launched a survey to collect data on the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) education programs. The survey included MLT program directors, educators, administrators, faculty, and other program-related individuals in university and college programs. The survey gathered information to support MLT program directors and faculty in educating students, especially to clarify current issues and reveal trends that may affect future program resources and the quality of MLT education. Topics in the surveys included demographics; educational level and rank; certification patterns; experience; responsibilities; salaries; retirement; and program-specific areas such as minimum grade point averages (overall and in science) for admission, vacancies, capacity, and clinical sites.
Keywords: Medical Laboratory Technician; faculty; medical education; programs; vacancy; wage.
