JSCC Medical Laboratory Technician Program

Congratulations to our 2026 graduates. These six will take their place as the 56th graduating MLTs from Jackson State Community College.

The MLT Program would like to send congratulations out for two special occasions.

2021 JSCC graduates Marshall French, Terra Schwarz, and Samantha Couch at their Austin Peay Medical Laboratory Science white coat ceremony. These three classmates will be graduating as classmates once again this summer. The relationship the program has with APSU provides our graduates the opportunity to matriculate and advance in the clinical lab science profession with a bachelor’s degree.

Even more special is the challenge of achieving post-graduate level in our profession. We are aware of one in the last 20 years, so this shoutout is to Melinda Bell Ladner. Melinda was a 2009 JSCC MLT graduate, and a 2017 APSU MLS graduate. Melinda was recently awarded her MHA, Master of Health Administration.

Congratulations to everyone!

How do we begin to promote our awesome profession? Thoughts, anyone?

Medical laboratory professionals are essential in providing the information to your doctors and practitioners so they can begin treatment!
