Medical technology, also called clinical laboratory science, is a
professional field for which the student prepares in chemistry,
microbiology, hematology, and related disciplines. Certified medical
technologists or clinical laboratory technicians may enter careers in
teaching or may work in clinical laboratories, research institutions,
and pharmaceutical firms. The program, which leads to a bachelor of
science degree, includes a yearlong, full-time clinical internship that
qualifies the student to take national certification exams. Internships
are competitive; grade-point averages of 2.5 in the sciences and
cumulatively are required to apply. Application is made during the fall
term of the junior year.
