PROGRAM OVERVIEW<br />
This program prepares students through lectures, laboratory activities and<br />
hospital-based clinical experience to become Medical Laboratory Technicians.<br />
Students will acquire the skills and knowledge essential to working in a medical<br />
laboratory and performing tests that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease<br />
and the maintenance of health.<br />
CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION AND<br />
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY INFORMATION CHECKS<br />
As a prerequisite for a clinical placement in the Medical Laboratory Technician<br />
program, all students must undergo a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI)<br />
check and a Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) check. These checks are<br />
required due to potential unsupervised contact with children, the disabled, or<br />
the elderly during a clinical experience. Students found to have certain criminal<br />
convictions or pending criminal actions will be presumed ineligible for clinical<br />
placement. The <strong>College</strong> is authorized by the Commonwealth’s Department of<br />
Criminal Justice Information Services, pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws,<br />
Chapter 6, Sections 167-178B, to access CORI records. Sex Offender checks shall<br />
be performed pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections<br />
178C-178P.<br />
For more <strong>info</strong>rmation regarding the <strong>College</strong>’s CORI/SORI check process, please<br />
