S MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY Marie Hotter, Medical Technology Program Director Roger C. Nichols, Medical Laboratory Technician Program Director Dean F. Hammond, M.D., Medical Director Associate Professors: Michael A. Beard, Ann Hackleman, Marie Kotter; Assistant Professors: Roger Nichols, L. Gary Nielsen. Adjunct and Clinical Faculty (see faculty listings). Description: Medical Technologists perform laboratory tests that contribute to the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and study of disease. Education: At Weber State College the Medical Technology programs utilize a ladder concept in curriculum planning. The four year curriculum is divided into two programs. The Medical Laboratory Technician program comprises the first two years. Students graduate with an associate degree in Medical Technology and are eligible to sit for certification examinations. Students who wish to continue on for a four-year degree must apply and be accepted into the B.S. Medical Technology program. These students complete the last two years of the curriculum and graduate with a bachelor's degree in Medical Technology and are eligible to sit for certification examinations. Admission to Medical Technology Programs: Students must see a Medical Technology counselor and make application for admission to the program before the end of fall quarter the year they wish to enter the program. Employment Outlook: Employment opportunities for medical laboratory workers are excellent. Advanced technology generally is expected to stimulate the demand for workers in this field. Graduates may find employment in hospitals, clinics and research laboratories. Related Careers: In large establishments, medical technologists tend to specialize in certain areas, such as hematology, microbiology, nuclear medical technology, or biochemistry. Technologists may also be employed as marketing representatives for medical supply companies and as technical advisers for medical manufacturers. Program: Medical Technology Major—Bachelor Degree I.
