How can you qualify as a certified MLT near a biology scope?

You can apply to do an internship at a hospital that has that type of program. Once you complete your internship you can sit for the exam. Or..sometimes, I reason, they will let you freshly take the exam in need the internship, but I'm not sure about that division. You can look at the American Society of Clinical Pathologists website for more information.
I believe you have to complete a two year point in MLT at a NAACLS recognized college before you can sit for the exam. At lowest for the ASCP (see above). The AMT (American Medical Technologist) may allow you to complete an internship at a hospital and then sit for the exam. They are smaller number picky than the ASCP - but also less respected.
My counsel to you is to get your biology amount (Associates?) and then find a well brought-up University that offers a BA within Medical Technology (MT). MTs are in much more emergency than MLTs - and they get remunerated more. You'll already have the majority of your prerequisites out of the course and it'll make the going deeply easier for you.
But I'm pretty sure that a Biology degree alone will not qualify you to sit for an MLT records exam. The reason for this is that MLT courses are far more indepth than any biology class. It'll markedly be tough to pass the records exam without the classes.

Good luck!
