Medical Laboratory Science - Bridge

About

Medical laboratory technologists are in high demand due to the health-care system becoming increasingly dependent on sophisticated laboratory technologies to diagnose, monitor and treat disease.

Modern health care has become increasingly dependent on complex laboratory tests, the results of which aid in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease. You will gain fundamental knowledge and skills in biological, physical and health sciences. The medical laboratory science-specific courses cover five laboratory disciplines: biochemistry, hematology, histotechnology, microbiology and transfusion science.

This program is accredited by the Canadian Medical Association. Upon successful completion, you are eligible to write the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science national certification examination and subsequently work in all Canadian provinces and territories.

Students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and get hands-on experience in the simulation laboratories. As theoretical knowledge expands, so does experiential knowledge. In fourth year, students will be placed in a diagnostic medical laboratory for the final two practicum semesters where they will work under the supervision of a medical laboratory technologist and perform increasingly complex procedures on human specimens. Clinical placements give students hands-on practice, experience in different work environments and the opportunity to network with potential employers.

Although some exceptional circumstances may be considered, practicum sites are assigned on a random basis; therefore, students may be placed in any affiliated site within the province of Ontario. Students are responsible for any costs associated with relocation.

How to Apply

All applicants to full-time undergraduate programs should apply in one of two ways; choose only one.

Option one:

The OUAC online application system allows you to apply to multiple Ontario universities or programs with one application. Here are the steps to follow:

Apply online using the OUAC website using the 105 application.
Be sure to apply by the application deadline for the program to which you want to be admitted—you can choose up to three programs.
Once the university receives your application from the OUAC, we will send you information regarding the next steps in the admissions process.

Option two:

If you are only applying to Ontario Tech, apply internally at ontariotechu.ca/internationalapplication. You can apply to three programs for a $100 application fee.

Note:If you're a student with a disability and want to be considered for admission on the basis of disability, please visit our special considerations page.
