Program details

Overview

Biomedical Laboratory Technology (140.C0) is a three-year, six-session Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Sainte-Foy, with intake in the Fall term only. The program trains medical laboratory technologists to draw blood and analyze biological specimens, including blood, urine, and tissue, across biochemistry, hematology, microbiology, histopathology, and transfusion medicine, in support of clinical diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Coursework combines laboratory technique with clinical placements. Graduates work as medical technologists in hospitals, research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, veterinary clinics, and the food industry. Students should budget approximately $90 for lab coats and protective eyewear required for laboratory work. The credential leads directly to regulated medical-laboratory-technology practice, with steady employer demand across the public health-care network and in private diagnostic and research settings.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires meeting Cegep de Sainte-Foy's general CEGEP admission conditions, as published on the college's admission page, plus a mathematics, chemistry, and physics prerequisite: Secondary 4 TS or SN Mathematics (or Secondary 5 CST Mathematics), Secondary 5 Chemistry, and Secondary 5 Physics, or, under the older curriculum, Mathematics 436, Chemistry 534, and Physics 534. Selection is based on the quality of the applicant's academic record. Because the program includes clinical placements, admitted students must meet the vaccination requirements of the placement sites. No French or English language-proficiency test is stated. The program is offered starting in the Fall term only.
