COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hondros
College of Nursing's (HCN) Medical Laboratory Technology program
faculty, staff and students celebrate their career path during
Medical Lab Professionals Week, April 21-27,
2019.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of
medical laboratory technologists and technicians is projected to
grow 13 percent through 2026, outpacing the average for all
occupations. U.S. Census data indicates that the over-65 population
is expected to more than double, reaching a new high of 98.2
million people by 2060. A corresponding demand for medical
diagnostics, including lab tests for cancer or Type 2 diabetes, is
also anticipated.
"Students enrolled in HCN's Medical Laboratory Technology
program are embarking on an essential and high-demand healthcare
occupation," said Tony Mediate,
chief executive officer of Hondros
College of Nursing. "Our students are uniquely positioned
play integral roles, along with physicians and nurses, in the
diagnosis and treatment of patients. This field opens the door for
people interested in participating in healthcare, in ways other
than hands-on nursing care."
Medical Laboratory Technicians are vital members of the
healthcare team in labs, hospitals and doctors' offices across the
county and around the world. Utilizing the latest lab equipment and
technology, they test and analyze body fluids and samples, the
results of which directly contribute to patient diagnosis,
treatment and ongoing care plans.
"We celebrate that we give students the opportunity to succeed
in a high-demand field and that our graduates play critical roles
in the diagnosis of critical illnesses" added Mediate.
The MLT program is offered at Hondros
College of Nursing locations in Columbus (Westerville, OH) and Cincinnati (West
Chester, OH). Prospective Medical Laboratory Technology
students can find out more about the program by visiting
