Objectifs du programme
The Biomedical Laboratory Technology program prepares students to practise the professions of
medical technologist and medical laboratory technician.
In accordance with the Professional Code, the scope of practice of medical technologists consists
of performing medical biology analyses and examinations of the human body or specimens and
ensuring the technical validity of results to be used for diagnosis or therapeutic follow-up.
Medical technologists and medical laboratory technicians work mainly in public health institutions.
In clinical settings, these technologists and technicians are found in sample collection centres,
outpatient and screening clinics, diagnostic laboratories, health care units and emergency
departments.
Medical technologists and medical laboratory technicians work in interdisciplinary situations with
health professionals, including nursing and medical staff, and specialists such as hematologists,
biochemists, microbiologists, etc.
Direct contact with clients occurs at the time when samples are taken and when analyses are
conducted at the point of care, both in public and private healthcare establishments and at home.
