Medical Technology (BS)

Richard Browne, PhD, directs the medical technology program, which uses applied biology and chemistry to train students to become clinical laboratory scientists.

Medical Technology, a field of applied biology and chemistry, is appropriate for students primarily interested in the delivery of health services.

Medical technologists, also referred to as clinical laboratory scientists, are the detectives of the health care world. Using analytical techniques, they search for clues both to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of disease or injury and to help patients stay healthy.
