Cathy Crawford

Cathy Crawford started at Mount Aloysius in the spring of 2008 as an adjunct instructor for the MLT program in DuBoisShe is now the primary faculty member for the MLT program in DuBois and serve as the Clinical Instructor for students in the DuBois area. She enjoys her position at Mount Aloysius because it allows her to share her clinical knowledge with the students while preparing them for a rewarding career in laboratory medicine.

"The MLT program is a challenging but fun experience that fully prepares you for a great career in the medical field. The instructors are well trained in their respective fields, and are more than willing to help you reach even your highest goals. I enjoy learning about the vast intricate workings of the human body and how each component changes based on disease or altered state of the body, and doing so with a hands-on approach to the subject matter. The subject matter is always changing, so if a person is looking for a fast-paced, engaging career path, I highly suggest the MLT program."
