Program:
A Medical Technologist is a clinical laboratory scientist
who performs and evaluates numerous laboratory procedures
to help other health professionals diagnose, treat
and prevent disease. Medical Technologists probably
provide the physician with more patient information
than any other health professional. Medical Technologists
are in demand in hospitals, doctor’s offices,
research institutions and private industry. Career
opportunities include positions as clinicians, educators,
researchers or administrators.
In this program, students study for three years
at Millersville and then apply for admission to an
accredited regional teaching hospital for one year
of clinical training in medical technology. Upon successful
completion of the clinical phase of the program, students
receive 30 transfer credits and are awarded a BS in
Biology, Medical Technology Option. After completing
the required work, students may sit for a national
examination, which, if successfully completed, confers
board certification in medical technology.
