Medical Technology Schools

SouthWestern Medical Center

The Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences offers preparation for careers in medical (clinical) laboratory science through two different programs, the Medical Technology Program and the Blood Bank Technology Program. Students enrolled in the Medical Technology Program are offered training in all major areas of the clinical laboratory through classroom instruction and practical experiences. Students may pursue either a bachelor of science degree or, for those who already hold a bachelor’s degree, a post-baccalaureate certificate in medical technology. The Blood Bank Technology Program is a post-baccalaureate program for medical technologists who wish to specialize in blood-bank technology.

University of Maryland School of Medicine
The Department of Medical and Research Technology (DMRT) is the largest accredited medical technology program in the state of Maryland, and confers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Our graduates are working in hospitals, clinics, laboratories and research institutions throughout the state of Maryland, and across the country.

Oregon Institute of Technology

Here's the science for you! If you are majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology or other sciences, consider a career in Clinical Laboratory Science. People who enjoy science, solving puzzles, working with laboratory instruments and computers while helping people at the same time, will find a perfect fit with clinical laboratory science careers. Clinical laboratory professionals are the detectives of the health care world. They search for clues to help in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is estimated that up to 75% of clinicians' decisions regarding a patient's diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory test results.

Sanford Brown

Sanford-Brown Institute offers various educational programs including a diagnostic medical sonography program and non-invasive cardiovascular technology programs to help prepare for a rewarding career in the field of healthcare.

University of Minnesota

Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS), formerly called Medical Technology, is an excellent career forstudents who enjoy problem solving and who enjoy courses in the biological, chemical, or physical sciences, especially the laboratory components of these courses. Although the majority of our graduates find employment in hospital laboratories, many work in governmental, research, forensic, or industrial laboratories. Approximately 20% of our students go on to graduate programs in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, biomedical research, etc. CLS graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations as Clinical Laboratory Scientists. Due to a critical national shortage of qualified laboratorians, CLS graduates have excellent opportunities for employment in nearly any area of the USA.

Stevenson University

This unique program combines the basic sciences of biology and chemistry with medicine and the clinical sciences. The result: a valuable academic program that translates into a satisfying professional career. Graduates are prepared to be medical technologists, also known as clinical laboratory scientists.

Wake Forest University Baptist

The Program in Medical Technology is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). It was established in 1942 as one of the professional schools of North Carolina Baptist Hospital and The Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University. Since that time, it has graduated more than 800 medical technologists who are serving in medical laboratories throughout the country.

University Of Alaska Anchorage

The mission of the Medical Laboratory Technology department is to graduate competent and ethical clinical laboratory professionals with the knowledge and the skills for career entry. It is also the department’s mission to prepare graduates for leadership roles in the clinical laboratory and professional organizations and to instill an understanding of the need for maintaining continuing competency in a rapidly changing and dynamic profession.

Cedars-Sinai

Clinical laboratory scientists (also known as medical technologists) are healthcare professionals who provide essential patient information. These scientists must ensure the quality of patient results because physicians and other healthcare workers make requisite decisions based on the validity of that data. This information plays a critical role in disease diagnosis and treatment and in the maintenance of overall health.

University of Tennessee

The Department of Pathology and the Dynacare - Tennessee Laboratories at the University of Tennessee Medical Center are the home for the Clinical Laboratory Science / Medical Technology of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK). The Medical Technology Program is a four-year degree program with the final year being spent taking courses given in the Clinical Laboratories of UT Medical Center.

Vanderbilt Medical Center

The Laboratory Medicine Division, with 19 primary and 8 secondary appointment faculty, directs a large and diverse set of laboratories that offer a broad and sophisticated array of primary and reference laboratory testing. The majority of primary testing is performed in the Core Laboratory (basic hematology, chemistry, coagulation, body fluids and urinalysis testing), Microbiology, and the Blood Bank. Specialized reference testing is offered in Chemistry (therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, esoteric testing), Hemostasis, Immunopathology (hematopoietic malignancies, immune system evaluation, etc.), Molecular Genetics (inherited disorders, hematopoietic disorders, etc.), Molecular Infectious Disease, Virology, Reproductive Biology (in the Dept. Of Obstetrics and Gynecology), and Lipid Biology (in the Dept of Medicine). For outside institutions, reference testing services can be accessed by clicking VPLS (Vanderbilt Pathology Laboratory Services) on the Department home page. The Division also oversees a large point of care and satellite lab testing effort throughout Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
