Oakton's MLT Program Earns Accreditation
The Medical Laboratory Technology program at Oakton Community College has received accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, a premier international agency for the approval of educational programs in the clinical laboratory sciences, College officials announced.
The College’s MLT program is approved until 2015, earning the seven-year maximum accreditation.
The NAACLS is recognized by the Council for Higher Educational Accreditation. Recognition by the CHEA affirms that standards and processes of accrediting organizations are consistent with quality improvement and accountability expectations established by the CHEA.
Accreditation is granted to the institution that assumes primary responsibility for curriculum planning and selection of course content; coordinates classroom teaching and applied education; appoints faculty to the program; receives and processes applications for admission; and grants the associate degree or certificate documenting completion of the program.
Oakton’s MLT program is chaired by Lynne Steele. The College has clinical affiliates with ACL Laboratories in Rosemont; Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge; Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights; Rush North Shore Medical Center in Skokie; St. Francis Hospital in Evanston; and Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, Resurrection Medical Center, and Swedish Covenant Hospital, all in Chicago.
