| Career opportunities for the medical technologist (clinical laboratory scientist) exist in many areas. Many of these allied health professionals are employed in labs in hospitals or government and industrial research facilities. The medical technologist performs laboratory diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to assist in the diagnosis, management and prevention of disease. Specializations include blood banking, chemistry, hematology, immunology and microbiology. Students will complete their professional studies at another institution where they will obtain a B.S. degree and become eligible to take the National Registry Exam given by the American Society for Clinical Pathologists. Students should become familiar with the entrance requirements of the professional school from which they plan to obtain their B.S. degree in order to plan a program of study at HCC that includes the appropriate electives. |
