Medical Laboratory Technology

Advanced Diploma

Program Overview

Please Note: Medical Laboratory Technology program is subject to the competitive admission process, and the application period is now closed.

It opens for application on October 1, and closes on February 15, each academic year. On February 15, paper applications are accepted until 4:30 p.m., and online applications are accepted until 11:59 p.m. (Saskatchewan times). All supporting documentation is required by 4:30 p.m. (Saskatchewan time) on March 1.

Those who applied for the diploma program for the September 2023 intake, will be transferred to the advanced diploma program.

If you’re interested in the science and technology of health care, consider a career as a medical laboratory technologist. It will immerse you in an exciting diagnostic environment, working both independently and as part of a team to perform complex procedures and tests on all types of human specimens. You need to be meticulous, detail-oriented, committed to high standards and have aptitudes for critical thinking as well as math and science. If this sounds like you, check out Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Medical Laboratory Technology program.

Medical Laboratory Technology is a nationally accredited two-and-a-half-year diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Saskatoon. Experienced instructors guide you through a well-rounded curriculum that includes classroom theory, lab work and actual clinical experiences. You’ll learn about:

clinical chemistry and microbiology
hematology and hemopathology
histotechnology and immunology
laboratory practice
specimen collection and handling
transfusion science

Build Practical Skills

Class time is augmented by hands-on training in labs. You will participate in clinical practicum experiences in hospitals and laboratories around the province, including placements in different settings to gain specific laboratory experiences, organizational skills and technical competence.

Diploma to Degree

Leverage your advanced diploma into the Bachelor of Applied Management degree at Saskatchewan Polytechnic with only two years of additional study. Remote classes and part-time options are available.

Use your Medical Laboratory Technology advanced diploma to ladder into a degree program at the University of Regina or Athabasca University (Alberta). A degree is usually required if you are interested in moving into management or teaching positions.

Nationally Accredited

After graduation, you will write the national Canadian Association of Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) certification exam. CSMLS certification allows you to work anywhere in Canada and to become a member of the Saskatchewan Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists (SSMLT), which is a requirement to work in Saskatchewan.

Serve in the Canadian Forces

Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Medical Laboratory Technology program is recognized by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), which means you can qualify for full-time subsidized education through their non-commissioned member subsidized training and education plan (NCMSTEP).

Learning Environment

Each year, 40 students are accepted to this program. Students will experience a mix of traditional lectures, web-assisted learning, practical labs and clinical practicums.

For this program, there is a heavy workload with 20 - 30 hours/week of homework. Classes are Monday - Friday with variable hours between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Clinical practicum hours will coincide with health care hours, and may include early morning start times (5 or 6 a.m.), evening, night and weekend shifts.

Lectures and Practical labs: Saskatoon

Clinical Practicum Experiences
Clinical practicum placement may occur at any approved site in Saskatchewan.
Note: all sites require a rotation at a secondary site to meet program requirements

31 week clinical, which includes:
- Nine weeks in year one at an approved sit in Saskatchewan.
- 22 weeks in third year at an approved site within Saskatchewan.
- Alternate sites will be required to meet program requirements.

Clinical practicum experiences are assigned by the Medical Diagnostics Committee on Practicum Placements (COPP). Students will have an opportunity to rank their preferred clinical sites. However, due to limited clinical placements in each location there is no guarantee that students will receive a clinical site assignment from their list of preferred sites. Students must be prepared to attend their assigned placement at any clinical site in the province.

Not all clinical facilities are easily accessible by public transportation; students assigned to these sites must have access to personal transportation. Students are responsible for travel, accommodation arrangements and costs to, during and from clinical experience. Students will continue with their didactic studies through online learning while on their clinical experience, and stable internet access is required.

Enrolment in the program will require acceptance of a clinical placement anywhere within Saskatchewan. Clinical placements are determined during the program closer to the dates for practicum experiences.
