Medical laboratory assistants work in a laboratory setting directly with other health care providers and patients. Job duties include collecting health information and medical specimens from patients, entering clerical data, processing specimens, and assisting with basic laboratory activities. It’s a job that requires attention to detail, good communication and people skills and the ability to work in a high paced, professional team environment. There is currently a high demand at hospitals, health clinics, medical offices, research and pharmaceutical labs, veterinary clinics, chiropractic, and physiotherapy offices and more, for medical lab assistants.
The Medical Laboratory Assistant program is a 32-week certificate program offered jointly with Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

- Anatomy and physiology
- Basic lab procedures
- Histology and cytology
- Infection control and safety
- Microbiology
- Specimen collection and handling
This program is fast-paced and physical, which may involve long period of standing when doing laboratory activities, simulations and during clinical placements.
