Training and Education

What you need:

A bachelor’s degree in laboratory science or an associated field such as microbiology.
Most states require that lab technologists seek ongoing training and enroll in continuing education courses and maintain their certification.

What you study:

Medical technologists receive an in-depth education in their subjects. An emphasis on the theory behind the technology differentiates the medical technology curriculum from that of medical lab technicians. Coursework for lab technologists includes:

General biology
Microbiology
Cytology and histology
Anatomy and physiology
Chemistry
Statistics
Laboratory science

What courses you’ll take

Below are examples of courses that you’ll likely take as a student preparing for a career in the medical and clinical laboratory technologist field.

Course	Studies	Purpose
Medical Laboratory Science	Organization and operation of the health care system and of an individual clinical laboratory; basics of laboratory procedures equipment safety quality control ethics and professional conduct; academic pathways toward certification and accreditation in the clinical laboratory field.	Familiarize students with the clinical laboratory environment and its roles in health care.
Clinical Chemistry	Chemical principles procedures instruments and data analysis methods as applied in a clinical setting; preparation performance and analysis of the results of chemical tests; chemicals used by the human body including proteins carbohydrates electrolytes lipids (fats) vitamins and enzymes.	Provide a foundational understanding of biochemistry and of chemical analysis as used in a medical lab.
Immunohematology	Composition of blood under normal and abnormal conditions; coagulation (blood clotting); antibodies and antigens (chemicals that bind to and neutralize harmful substances in the bloodstream); blood collection storage and preservation; blood types; techniques for detecting compatibility between a blood donor and a recipient.	Prepare students to collect and analyze blood and to assist in blood transfusions.
Urinalysis and Body Fluids	Anatomy and physiology (function) of human kidneys; gathering samples of urine and other bodily fluids including cerebrospinal fluid; analyzing fluid samples via physical chemical and microscopic means; current technologies used in automated and semi-automated fluid analysis.	Ready students to gather samples of body fluids and to assess them via various means.
Medical Microbiology	Morphology (structure) and physiology (function) of various kinds of microorganisms; collecting and assessing specimens of pathogenic (disease-causing) microbes; testing patients for susceptibility to specific microbes; lab equipment and procedures used in microbe processing.	Give an understanding of harmful microbes and of the ways they interact with the human body.
Parasitology and Mycology	Taxonomy (classification) and pathogenesis (disease-causing mechanisms) of fungi and parasites that live in human hosts; use of lab instrumentation and techniques from other classes in the collection and analysis of fungi and parasites.	Enable students to recognize and assess fungi and parasites found in humans.

Certifications and Licensing

Although not every state requires licensing and certification for medical laboratory technologists many employers require it. Specialists who have a keen interest in a particular aspect of the field often choose to earn certification in these roles. A radiologic technologist for example specializes in processing and analyzing x-ray images.

Job Flexibility

Full-time versus part-time:

Most medical laboratory technologists work fixed full-time shifts although some smaller independent clinics and medical offices offer part-time positions. Most work is on-site. Technologists may make rounds within the facility especially if they specialize in operating portable imaging and diagnostic equipment but they work within a single complex.
