What is Medical Technology?
Medical technology, or clinical laboratory science, focuses on laboratory testing used to diagnose, manage and prevent disease. In the laboratory, this highly skilled team of medical professionals work together to determine the presence, extent or absence of disease and provide valuable data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for the patient.
Medical technologists (MTs), or clinical laboratory scientists (CLSs), perform both routine and specialized testing in chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunohematology, immunology, molecular diagnostics, virology, parasitology, mycology and toxicology. There are plentiful and varied career opportunities for an MT/CLS in hospitals, reference labs, clinics, physician offices, research and education facilities.
