Do you know a practicing phlebotomist that is interested in continuing their education? The NTCC Medical Lab Technology program is now offering a $250 scholarship to any practicing phlebotomist admitted into the MLT program. The faculty met with many of the area Lab Directors of hospital labs to offer an incentive for their phlebotomy staff to go back to college. The need for Lab Techs is still high in the East Texas area and NTCC is glad to support our labs. For information, please call 903-434-8250 or e-mail gbarrett@ntcc.edu.
