BS Medical Technology

Fairleigh Dickinson University - United States

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology will prepare graduates to become Medical Technologists and be eligible to sit for the Board of Registry of the American Society of Clinical Pathology. Medical technologists play a critical role in patient care, providing key laboratory data for the diagnosis of diseases, management of patient therapy and health maintenance. They perform complicated chemical, biological, hematological, microscopic and bacteriological tests. For example, medical technologists microscopically examine blood and other body fluids, make cultures of fluid or tissues the samples, use computers to verify and organize lab data, and analyze the samples for chemical content or reaction. They require skills in using state-of-the-art technology and instrumentation, as well as excellent organizational, problem solving and communication skills.
