In 1991 the University of Utah collaborated with Salt Lake Community College to establish a jointly sponsored Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) program. With documented need for MLTs in Utah and surrounding states, both institutions combined their resources to create an associate degree program that neither institution could offer alone. The first academic year of prerequisite science and liberal education courses are completed at the Community College followed by a second year of professional didactic and laboratory courses taught by faculty of the Medical Technology (MT) Program at the University of Utah, Department of Pathology. Following the second year of professional courses, MLT students complete 15 weeks of clinical rotations in the Salt Lake Metropolitan area. MLT students as well as MT students benefit from their shared experiences in combined courses that are taught on the university campus.
1991年，犹他大学与盐湖社区学院合作，设立了一个联合赞助的医学实验室技术员（MLT）项目。鉴于犹他州及周边各州对医学实验室技术员有明确需求，两所院校整合资源，创建了一个两所院校单独都无法提供的副学士学位项目。第一年的基础科学和文科教育课程在社区学院完成，随后第二年的专业理论和实验室课程由犹他大学病理学系医学技术（MT）项目的教师授课。在完成第二年的专业课程后，医学实验室技术员专业的学生在盐湖城都会区完成为期15周的临床轮转。医学实验室技术员专业的学生以及医学技术专业的学生都受益于在大学校园里共同上课的经历。
