Cert in Cytotechnologie (AEC)

This Attestation of College Studies (AEC) program trains students in cytotechnology, the laboratory evaluation of cellular changes associated with disease and cancer, working in collaboration with pathologists within Quebec's health network. The program runs 9 months and includes clinical placements in Montreal or in regional health facilities. Courses are delivered through the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM), giving students hospital-based clinical training alongside academic instruction. The program leads to an Attestation of College Studies (AEC) and is restricted to applicants who already hold a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) in Biomedical Laboratory Technology, reflecting its status as advanced, specialized training rather than an entry-level health science credential. Academic and admission-file inquiries are handled by the college registrar, while questions about hospital-based training and labour-market integration are directed to the program's teaching coordinator, reflecting the shared college-hospital delivery model.
