The Department of Health Facility Occupations offers programs in Medical Technology, Respiratory (Inhalation) Therapy and Radiologic (X-Ray) Technology. Other health occupation programs are being developed and interested students are urged to contact the Department for late developments. The Department provides a core of courses which are common to the health occupations. These core courses, together with the specific requirements for each of the specific programs, are required for graduation. The associate of science degree will be awarded to students successfully completing programs in Radiologic Technology and Respiratory Therapy. The bachelor of science degree is awarded to individuals who fulfill the requirements for the Medical Technology program. Health Occupations Core Courses of Instruction 101. Medical Terminology—Medical terms of Greek and Latin origin. Designed for the pre-professional and workers in health related fields. A (3) 120. Introduction to Medical Science—Medical terminology, roles and interrelationships in the health care team, medical ethics and psychology of the patient. A (3) 130.

A (4) Arts, Letters and Science — Health Occupations Medical Technology Medical Technology Major—Students following careers in Medical Technology must complete three years of study (minimum of 138 hours) on the campus plus a twelve-month senior year internship in an approved hospital School of Medical Technology. Included in the above hours are college specific and area requirements for the bachelor's degree, the health occupations core—and those of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP), namely: Microbiology 205, 305, 315, 325; Chemistry 121, 122, 123, 305, 307, 213, 311, 312, 313; Mathematics 105; Zoology 421, 422, 330; Physics 101. A minimum grade point of 3.0 is recommended for entrance into the senior year internship. Medical Technology 451 through 459 are taken during the senior year in the affiliated hospital School of Medical Technology. To become registered as a Medical Technologist (ASCP), individuals must apply to the American Society of Clinical Pathologists and be examined to verify their professional competence.
