Hey everyone I am a a medical lab scientist with bachelors of science in MLS, post graduate diploma in medical physiology, and higher diploma in MLS in microbiology. I am planning to take my ascp exam but I can confirm that this is the best channel
Hi dude, Your videos are very helpful and keep doing it. Please do a complete processing video( in English) for applying California license for international applicants as so many are have ASCP with them and doesn't know how to proceed further to get into US. Thank you
@@itsmattem I am also excited to know more about the difference between generalist and specialist license and its requirements. I know you would be the best person to give the helpful information. Can you put it in your content in the future?
2nd year Medtech student here in Phil!👋 I can't imagine myself to work outside the country but thanks for the infos- you gave me hope. I wish i could be there Hahaha im not a brilliant student but wait for me California!😁🤣
we have the same circumstance!! IR-2 visa also, now work in NC 😂 we don't have a state exam though, took the ph boards but didn't even process it after passing 😂 ascp was easy after doing the board review
Hi! Matt, Thanks for sharing how to work as a medical technologist in usa, that's amazing!! Can I ask you about another country like Thailand can apply or transfer BC degree in Medical technology to work in USA as your step in the video, thank you so much ☺️
Hello 👋 I think you can apply for ASCPi as well. But for the CA CLS License, it will depend if you meet the requirements heres a helpful link 🤓 www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OSPHLD/LFS/Pages/CLS.aspx
I was hoping someone could help me out by answering some of my questions. I’m finishing up my bachelors degree at a cal state, I’m majoring in biology with a minor in microbiology. I was a pre-med throughout most of my undergrad until recently so I took a lot of medical related coursework. I have become interested in becoming a CLS or MLS & was wondering if I would have to do a post-bacc in order to complete any missing requirements? Or if I have enough qualifications where I could take a board exam & become licensed? Thank you in advance!
Hey bro. You should look into George Washington university. They have an online post bacc certification program for students who hold a bachelors in biology or chemistry. I have my bachelors in biology as well and will be applying to the program to get my ascp license
I'm so mad I can't convince my parents that I always wanted to be a scientist my mom wants me to be a doctor or nurse which I'm fine with but I really wanted to be a lab tech. But alas, I can't convince her..
Hello! I was just wondering, what if I graduated from the Philippines in BMLS but planning to take the ASCP in the states. Are the requirements still the same? Thank you!
Please, I am MLT from outside philippines, but i've studied with another language not in English language, which university or college can offer best training in this country and how will be the cost in average? And what you advice , Thanks
Question, so did you do a 1 year internship here in CA before you took your ASCPi or did they consider your 1 year internship from the PI? I’m just trying to see what I can do after I graduate CLS degree since my school does not have a program for CLS internship. But great video btw!
Hi matt , i have done my bachelor in Microbiology can i apply for Technician in Microbiology by route 2. because i have pure microbiology degree unlike Medical laboratory technology degree. please guide me waiting for your reply
Hi sir! Thank you for the very informative video. Btw sir how bout po yung school po namin is 6months lang po ang internship. (Required by Commission on higher education), but i am currently working as licensed medtech sa same hospital po na pinag intership ko sir. May merit po kaya yung 2years work exp? Bali 6months internship and 2years work experience po in the same institution. Tertiary hospital catering 1000 bed capacity po ako sir
Hello 👋🏼 There are other options too like working in a different state. I am not 100 percent sure but as far as I know Florida and Texas accepts students with less than 1 year of internship ☺️
Hello, if I graduated from a bachelor's degree here in the PH and wanted to take MLT there in the US? Would they credit my previous units that I took here or should I start over again?
Hai iam yugendar I was completed BSC medical laboratory technician in india.iwas interested to do msc medical microbiology can i do or no can you say some information about msc medical microbiology course fee application in Phillipines
Thank you for a very informative video 😊 I was just wondering whether an agency (such as medpro) is necessary for you to work as medtech at the US or not. Kasi in other vloggers po they always mentioned the agency that helped them be employed in the US.
Having a direct-hire recruitment company helps facilitate the process. The agency usually does some vetting of the medtech and gives guidance about the pros and cons of a particular location. Agencies are usually more helpful with the transitional stage - especially once the medtech arrives in the USA. The agency I work for has a specialist who helps people get their driver's license, open a bank account, and provide other support.
Kuya emat nagkaroon poba kayo ng experience as a medical technician here in the Philippines before kayo nag migrate sa us?AND ONE THING THAT I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IS THAT ARE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY SCIENTIST IS UNDER THE MED TECH BACHELORS DEGREE AS A PRE MED OR DID YOU DO THE MED SCHOOL?THANK YOU PO..I JUST REALLY WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I AM THINKING RIGHT KNOW IF I WOULD CHOOSE NURSING OR MED TECH ALTHOUGH THE TRUTH IS I WANNA BE A DOCTOR BUT I THINK WE CAN'T AFFORD IT SO IM DOING A RESEARCH FOR WHAT'S BETTER FOR ME TO CHOOSE😆
what if your school in the philippines only required their students to have 6 months internship? what would be the CDPH guideline for it? are they still allow it even if its just 6 months of internship? if not what are the other option to get approved in california? thanks.
So I have a few questions. I am an international student currently studying med tech. Later after you graduate and get a job does your employer provide you with permanent resident? Or can you apply for it?
I guess it depends po on your contract with the employer. I’m not really sure how that goes because I applied for my position through online apps 🤓 And i already have my IR-2 visa before getting my position po 😅
Kuya, your video is very informative. I want to ask lang kasi my parents are in America na since my mom remarried and has been living there with my stepdad. She petitioned for me but like I'm over 21 na. Is it faster for me to get there if I get a work visa? Thank youuuuu :)
Hello po, petition forms and immigration stuff is a really complicated topic. Sadly i don’t know the right answer for this one. I advice you to seek legal counsel or try looking at it online 🤓
Hi!!! Im student wanting to study biochemistry in a lab. I recently discovered I could do this through medical laboratory. Could you explain maybe what being a medical laboratory means or is about?
Hello 👋 Clinical Lab Science is a very broad field. I like to define it as an introvert’s way of helping in healthcare. I will provide you a link on a more thorough explanation on the nitty gritty details of the field: explorehealthcareers.org/career/allied-health-professions/clinical-laboratory-scientist-technician/
Okay. Matt, I am 5 yrs work experience MLS in Louisiana. I want to relocate to CA. I have ASCP CERTIFICATE, I think I need do California CLS licensure, can I do those online or take any course ?
Hello 👋 I work as a Clinical Lab Scientist. We process and analyze the specimen (e.g. blood, urine, stool, etc.) sent to the lab. In my workplace, we delegate blood draws to a different personnel and we call them Phlebotomists 💉
Hello kuya! ayaw ng mother ko mag study ng medtech here in ph because i have to take the four yr course all over again sa usa? is it true im trying to prove her wrong 😭
Hello! Great info! Did you happen to meet someone from Europe tho? Im from east Europe so im wondering if we have the same opportunity of working abroad like you ☺ thanks
Hi, Matt. Im a newbie subscriber. Im interested to apply to sit for an exam for ASCPi. I was trying to create a log in account but it will turn up to be error. Could you please try to check if its working in your part? I am currently residing in the UK. My family and i want to migrate to US but we dont habe relatives in US so i want to challenge the exam and apply for a working visa. Can i asks a big favor if you could check. If you could log in in ascp website or you can create a log in. Thanks.
Hello 👋 Tbh, I’ve been getting DMs regarding this as well. I think this is a website issue, you can try contacting ASCP’s customer service and ask for more information about it po. At this point po kasi i don’t think there’s something we can do about it ☺️ Here’s a link that can help you: www.ascp.org/content/about-ascp/contact-ascp
Hello sir thanks for the informative video.. Well what is the average monthly salary for Medical Laboratory Technologist or Radiation technologist in Canada ? And which course have superior job opportunities eg. Diploma in Medical Laboratory Science or Bachelor in Medical Laboratory Science?? Sir I'm also planning to work abroad .So kindly respond with the best of your knowledge. It'll be much appreciated
Hello, I’m sorry but sadly im not really familiar with the NYC route, but i tried looking online and i hope this link helps: www.op.nysed.gov/prof/clt/clp-cltlic.htm#
Hi that is a good question. In my opinion you should choose the one that you actually like. Don’t go pick a course that just because it is demand, choose it because you actually love the course po. That’s how I see it 🤓
My advice is to shadow your Medtech friends and/or nursing friends at work. Get a feel of both fields. Try watching a day in my life videos of other youtubers and gauge which one you’ll like more because it will only be one or the other. If all else fails make a pros and cons list 🧐
I have relatives (mother's cousin and niece) who currently living in DC, do you think I'm already a distant relative or no? What do you think are my chances of getting IR-2 visa if they ever petitioned me? Sorry I have so much questions. 🤍
In my opinion, if you are a current MLS student and 1 year internship is easily accessible. It would be faster to take 1 year of internship, then take the PH board exam, ASCPi and CA CLS License. If in case you already did take the 6 months internship, you could start working for at least one year as a CLS (local or abroad) performing high complexity testing. Training and/or work experience should cover ALL (excluding histopathology) areas of the clinical laboratory.
Hi po! I saw from the website po that taking 3 units of physics is required before applying for a CA CLS license but my school doesn’t offer any physics class under the BSMT program huhu. Did you go back to school for just the one physics class po?
Hi, Actually physics is a part of the old curriculum of BMLS. I actually talked to my college dean about this and they said you can take physics as an extra subject since my university doesn't do block sections. High chance of being delayed but I think the pay off in the end is worth it. I would advise for you to ask your dean about this so that you can know about your options.
Chicken Sandwich! Hi, Matt just wondering if tertiary hospital experience actually matters? :( I only have a year experience working but they don't stand as tertiary (but! I had a year internship experience in tertiary hospitals. I'm hoping that counts). I'm really aching to go abroad and I'm scared my chances are low, but I've already set my heart on it. The only requirement I have left is IELTS and I'm taking soon. I honestly just went for it and I'm kinda worried. All the best xx
Hello 👋 If you have the same visa as mine (IR-2), your into chances getting in especially without a tertiary hospital experience are okay (like me). But as far as i know the work visa (H1b) requires people to have experience in a tertiary hospital. PS: Eureka! You read through the entire description box 🤓
Sir, what's the difference between BS MedTech and BS Medical Lab Science? Iba kasi ang nalagay ko doon sa college application ko. Imbes BS MT, BS MLS yung nalagay ko. Tsaka ubusan ng slots yung BS MT dito sa mga med schools sa Davao. 😭
I know you can get a MLS Certification, but I’m sorry I’m not very familiar with that route. 🤓 Check with ASCP’s guidelines on how to get a MLS Certification with a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry 🤓
Hey! Quick question, did you have a job with your biochemistry degree? If so what did you do? I’m torn between on whether I should major in biochemistry and become a pharmacist or just become an MLS
@@KillaKelzz my advice to you given the current job climate is to get your certification as an MLS or a CLS something that offers you a job of some kind getting a degree in biochemistry is great but it doesn't necessarily guarantee you a job
@@KillaKelzz You're welcome just learn from my mistake I have all these degrees I have over 20 years of experience in analytical chemistry I could run any instrument I could follow any protocol I could even write my own if I want.... they won't hire me because I don't have that little piece of paper and I can't get that little piece of paper without having to redo a majority of my degree over again.
Henlo if I may ask, are there any physical requirements upon being a medtech. I have eye complications tho I'm wearing corrective glasses. I'm afraid that this may affect me once I get to start hunting for a job.
Hi, im currently a Registered Medical Technologist in the PH and working for 3 months already and planning to take the ASCPi this year also, ask ko lang po if may number of years ba nirerequire na job experience in California? And gaano po katagal ang naging whole process niyo? Thanks!
Hi Matt! Can I ask if there are required years of working experience before applying for work there in the US?? Plus how long does it took you to be a medical technologist in the US?? Thank you and I really appreciate this video :))
Hello. I had no work experience when I went here in the US. Working in the US is my first job ever. In terms of work experience, it is always preferred but never required.
I want to be a medtech but the university my mom recommended me doesnt cater that course but instead they have bs in biotechnology. How do I make this work? Is it still possible for me to become a medtech?
Hi kuya matt!! does grades matter po ba when applying a job abroad? i mean, okay naman po grades ko hehe i just want to know po if isa rin po siya sa mga basis/factors when applying a job po hehe thank you in advance! :) God bless po!
Hello 👋 I guess it will always depend on your employer, I asked my boss if it did and he said no naman daw. For him, all that matters is that you are competent enough (so i guess mas important ang lab experience). 🤓 Hope this helps, and dont forget to wash your hands 🙌🏼 🧼
hello po sir! im a student still undecided on what course i should take. but, i am interested in taking med tech po. Ask ko lang madami po bang job opportunities in the US for Med tech graduates? I was inspired to pursue the same path you take po tho im not sure if may kalulugaran po ako if mag abroad after college. Sana po masagot hehe thanks po
Hello. In my opinion, go for the degree that will give you joy. The job opportunities will follow you afterwards. I didn't expect to end up here in the US but when I was choosing my degree I knew I wanna be a medtech.
Hi Matt , I live at Florida and have green card I am trying hardly to get license,but my BS from aboard : Lebanon . I did before the board exam at my country there and I sent it translated to Florida board but they replied back that the document is not enough . Also ,they asked for employment verification form : which is verification of clinical laboratory experience. I had 1 year experience at my country but does it count here at US?? Because you mentioned that wherever happens , I should have 1 year internship here !!! So is it worth it to send to them my experience aboard ?? In addition to that , what is national exam ?? Excuse me I have alot of questions 😫 But really I need some assistance and help , because there is lot of requirements. Thank you 😊
Hello 👋 I wish i could help you with that but the requirements to be a Clinical Laboratory Scientist for each state is different. But if you need the requirements for the California route, here’s a helpful link: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OSPHLD/LFS/Pages/CLS.aspx
Hey everyone I am a a medical lab scientist with bachelors of science in MLS, post graduate diploma in medical physiology, and higher diploma in MLS in microbiology. I am planning to take my ascp exam but I can confirm that this is the best channel

Hello i advise you to contact Thomas if you are preparing for your ASCP exam be it MLT or MLS. He is the reason i and my family are very happy today
I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
Passing the ASCP is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas
Very informative Matt. Keep it up. Matt, you look great here but so much better in person. Glad to meet you. God bless!😊

@@itsmattem Pareho ko po kasing gusto yung coursee na yuun ih kaya in terms of practicality po sana hehe
My advice is to shadow your Medtech friends and/or nursing friends at work. Get a feel of both fields. Try watching a day in my life videos of other youtubers and gauge which one you’ll like more because it will only be one or the other.
If all else fails make a pros and cons list 🧐
@@itsmattem noteed po. Thank youu so much!
I have relatives (mother's cousin and niece) who currently living in DC, do you think I'm already a distant relative or no? What do you think are my chances of getting IR-2 visa if they ever petitioned me? Sorry I have so much questions. 🤍
I’m not really sure but you can refer here or the USCIS website 🤓

Hello! Is it really necessary that it should be 1 year internship or is it equivalent to 1 year work experience?
In my opinion, if you are a current MLS student and 1 year internship is easily accessible. It would be faster to take 1 year of internship, then take the PH board exam, ASCPi and CA CLS License.
If in case you already did take the 6 months internship, you could start working for at least one year as a CLS (local or abroad) performing high complexity testing. Training and/or work experience should cover ALL (excluding histopathology) areas of the clinical laboratory.
Hi po! I saw from the website po that taking 3 units of physics is required before applying for a CA CLS license but my school doesn’t offer any physics class under the BSMT program huhu. Did you go back to school for just the one physics class po?
Hi, Actually physics is a part of the old curriculum of BMLS. I actually talked to my college dean about this and they said you can take physics as an extra subject since my university doesn't do block sections. High chance of being delayed but I think the pay off in the end is worth it.
I would advise for you to ask your dean about this so that you can know about your options.
Chicken Sandwich! Hi, Matt just wondering if tertiary hospital experience actually matters? :( I only have a year experience working but they don't stand as tertiary (but! I had a year internship experience in tertiary hospitals. I'm hoping that counts). I'm really aching to go abroad and I'm scared my chances are low, but I've already set my heart on it. The only requirement I have left is IELTS and I'm taking soon. I honestly just went for it and I'm kinda worried. All the best xx
Hello 👋 If you have the same visa as mine (IR-2), your into chances getting in especially without a tertiary hospital experience are okay (like me). But as far as i know the work visa (H1b) requires people to have experience in a tertiary hospital.
PS: Eureka! You read through the entire description box 🤓
Matt Em the Scientist oh okay ☹️ thank you. Have a nice day.
Sir, what's the difference between BS MedTech and BS Medical Lab Science? Iba kasi ang nalagay ko doon sa college application ko. Imbes BS MT, BS MLS yung nalagay ko. Tsaka ubusan ng slots yung BS MT dito sa mga med schools sa Davao. 😭
same lang yung MT and MLS beh
Matt
I have a BS in biochemistry and an MS in Chemistry. I have over ten years in analytical chemistry such as pharmaceutical.
How do I get my CLS?
I know you can get a MLS Certification, but I’m sorry I’m not very familiar with that route. 🤓
Check with ASCP’s guidelines on how to get a MLS Certification with a Bachelors degree in Biochemistry 🤓
Hey! Quick question, did you have a job with your biochemistry degree? If so what did you do? I’m torn between on whether I should major in biochemistry and become a pharmacist or just become an MLS
@@KillaKelzz my advice to you given the current job climate is to get your certification as an MLS or a CLS something that offers you a job of some kind getting a degree in biochemistry is great but it doesn't necessarily guarantee you a job
@@highlander723 Got it! Thank you so much :)
@@KillaKelzz You're welcome just learn from my mistake I have all these degrees I have over 20 years of experience in analytical chemistry I could run any instrument I could follow any protocol I could even write my own if I want.... they won't hire me because I don't have that little piece of paper and I can't get that little piece of paper without having to redo a majority of my degree over again.
Henlo if I may ask, are there any physical requirements upon being a medtech. I have eye complications tho I'm wearing corrective glasses. I'm afraid that this may affect me once I get to start hunting for a job.
Henlo 👋🏼 hmm, as far as i know I dont think there are any physical requirements 😅
Thanks 😊
No problemo 😃
what is the name of your agency?
Do you have linked in?
Am I required to take the board exam in the Philippines? I'll be moving next year sa Cali. Plus 6 months lang internship ko sa hospital. 😔
Hello, No you are not required to take the PH board exam po. You can apply as a trainee and finish your internship here in the US.
Hi, im currently a Registered Medical Technologist in the PH and working for 3 months already and planning to take the ASCPi this year also, ask ko lang po if may number of years ba nirerequire na job experience in California? And gaano po katagal ang naging whole process niyo? Thanks!
Hi Matt! Can I ask if there are required years of working experience before applying for work there in the US?? Plus how long does it took you to be a medical technologist in the US?? Thank you and I really appreciate this video :))
Hello. I had no work experience when I went here in the US. Working in the US is my first job ever. In terms of work experience, it is always preferred but never required.
I want to be a medtech but the university my mom recommended me doesnt cater that course but instead they have bs in biotechnology. How do I make this work? Is it still possible for me to become a medtech?
Hi you can compare your academic curriculum on this link, to see If you qualify for CA CLS License.

Hi kuya matt!! does grades matter po ba when applying a job abroad? i mean, okay naman po grades ko hehe i just want to know po if isa rin po siya sa mga basis/factors when applying a job po hehe thank you in advance! :) God bless po!
Hello 👋 I guess it will always depend on your employer, I asked my boss if it did and he said no naman daw. For him, all that matters is that you are competent enough (so i guess mas important ang lab experience). 🤓 Hope this helps, and dont forget to wash your hands 🙌🏼 🧼
@@itsmattem waaahhh!! thank you so much, kuya matt!! i feel so relieved + this motivates me a lot :) God bless you always, kuya!! 💖
Nahilo ako sa oras buddy! Hahahahaha. 4:52pm, then 4:31pm, then 5:00pm
The kwento makes more sense kasi if told that way lol 🤪
@@itsmattem You seem busy these days tho. Meron na bang content pero walang time? Or both wala pa? Haha
Rocel De Ramos actually may na-shoot na editing na lang ang di ko pa nagagawa
Hi sir, what working working visas would you recommend? Im a MT too. :)
It will all depend on where you qualify sir 🤓
hello po sir! im a student still undecided on what course i should take. but, i am interested in taking med tech po. Ask ko lang madami po bang job opportunities in the US for Med tech graduates? I was inspired to pursue the same path you take po tho im not sure if may kalulugaran po ako if mag abroad after college. Sana po masagot hehe thanks po
Hello. In my opinion, go for the degree that will give you joy. The job opportunities will follow you afterwards. I didn't expect to end up here in the US but when I was choosing my degree I knew I wanna be a medtech.
Sir Matt, may I ask kung saan po kayo nag training ng 1 year internship? May nag ooffer ba sa metro manila na hospitals?
Hello po, I finished my internship in Adventist Medical Center Manila. Hope this helps.
I have a diploma certificate can i apply...
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Faith 🤓

HELLO SIR MATT, JUST WANNA ASK. DID YOU WORK HERE IN PH? 😊
Hi Matt , I live at Florida and have green card I am trying hardly to get license,but my BS from aboard : Lebanon .
I did before the board exam at my country there and I sent it translated to Florida board but they replied back that the document is not enough .
Also ,they asked for employment verification form : which is verification of clinical laboratory experience. I had 1 year experience at my country but does it count here at US?? Because you mentioned that wherever happens , I should have 1 year internship here !!! So is it worth it to send to them my experience aboard ??
In addition to that , what is national exam ??
Excuse me I have alot of questions 😫
But really I need some assistance and help , because there is lot of requirements.
Thank you 😊
Hello 👋 I wish i could help you with that but the requirements to be a Clinical Laboratory Scientist for each state is different. But if you need the requirements for the California route, here’s a helpful link:
