This year, the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) Club decided to tie blankets and donate them to the Milwaukee Children’s Hospital. This activity was done before the winter break to spread some holiday cheer to those in need. A total of 13 blankets were completed by eleven MLT students, and a couple of helpers (their children). We had a great time completing the project while watching a holiday show. To celebrate our success, we ended the night with pizza!

As the adviser for the Medical Laboratory Technician club, I encourage anyone who is interested in pursuing a healthcare career with excellent employment opportunities to contact me to learn more about laboratory medicine and the role we have in helping physicians to diagnose, treat, and monitor the health status of their patients.

This event allows students to network with others in the profession, meet with recruiters, learn about trends in laboratory medicine and compete in the student bowl.  As an Medical Lab Technician (MLT), they will work in a field that studies body fluids to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment.
