Program Details
The Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program curriculum is designed to prepare the student for work within the clinical laboratory. Curriculum and program objectives are built based on the state of practice in the BC medical laboratory community, and on competencies established by the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) for entry-level medical laboratory technology.
The program provides theoretical, practical and clinical learning experiences. In this competency-based model, students have the opportunity to first practice, and then demonstrate, competency in a variety of clinical testing domains. Students prove competence through experiences in a clinical setting. Successful completion of this program requires proof of competence in all aspects of the general competency profile [PDF] for CSMLS certification as a medical laboratory technologist. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to write the General Medical Laboratory Technologist certification exam. Successful completion of the certification exam enables one to practice medical laboratory technology across Canada.
BCIT arranges clinical placements for each student. Clinical placements are located in a variety of accredited laboratories throughout BC including the Interior, the Kootenay region, Vancouver Island and the Greater Metro Vancouver area. 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 their clinical experience. Students continue with their didactic studies thru on-line learning while on their clinical placement and stable internet access is required.
Note: For clinical site assignment, an automated matching program is used, where students input their preferences for clinical placements. However, 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 of the clinical sites in the province.

Program length
Two-and-one-half years, full-time, beginning in September each year.
The program consists of four on-campus terms and one clinical term. The first term begins in September for 15 weeks, followed by a January term for 20 weeks. Students then break for the summer, returning in September for a 15-week term and a 19-week term starting in January. Shortly after students complete the fourth term, they progress to a 35-week clinical placement. Students will write the national CSMLS exam in February, after they have successfully completed the program.
Grading
All MLS didactic courses require 60% to pass. Clinical experience is competency based and therefore has a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade.
To continue from one level of the program to the next, all courses must be successfully completed in each level. To graduate, all courses must be successfully completed, including the online learning materials which supports the Term 5 clinical placement.

We typically interview 140-160 applicants for 96 seats in the program. Acceptance is based on the ranked aggregate score achieved during the selection process.
Participants who are not among the top 96 will be placed on a wait list for the current intake, in the event a seat becomes available. The wait list is cleared once the program intake is full and closed; unsuccessful applicants must re-apply to be considered for the next intake.
Can I apply to the program while I’m working on meeting the prerequisites or do I wait until all are complete?
You can only apply when you have fully met the academic requirements. An exception can be made if you are in the process of completing prerequisite courses and can submit midterm reports. Refer to Using Your Midterm Grades for information on submitting midterm marks. When submitting midterm marks, your final marks should be submitted no later than one month prior to the start of the program.
What if I have the prerequisites, but they are from more than 5-years ago?
To meet the recency requirement, courses should have been completed within 5-years from the calendar year of start date in the program. As 5-year recency is preferred, if your course work is not within recency, you have the option to either write challenge exams or complete upgrading courses through your local school district or post-secondary institution. Challenge exams exist for Biology, Math, Chemistry and Physics.
I did not receive a ‘B’ in English 12, will my post-secondary English marks be considered?
Yes, refer to Admission & Registration.
I need to meet the English 12 requirement, what are my options?
There are a number of upgrading and assessment test options available.
What if I write challenge exams and do not achieve the necessary grade?
You will have only one opportunity to write each challenge exam. If you are unsuccessful, you must then upgrade to meet prerequisites. A student who registers and writes a challenge exam a second time will be given the mark from their first attempt.
Do you consider out of country credentials as meeting the prerequisite requirements for the MLS program?
Please refer to Admission & Registration for information on International high school equivalencies. Please note we will be looking for courses that meet equivalency, recency, and the relevant letter grade criteria.
Challenge exams or upgrading will be required if the prerequisite courses have not been taken within five years from your program start date.
