Medical Technology Major

M. Fox - This program has pending requirements changes from the senate: satistics only:ready for 2013?

Description

The major in medical technology enables a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from The College at Brockport at the end of a four-year program, including three academic years here and a fourth calendar year at a school of medical technology approved by the College. During the first three years each student fulfills the General Education and major requirements. The fourth year at a school of medical technology includes both theoretical and practical work in a medical lab. The BS is awarded upon the satisfactory completion of the requirements of both institutions. Upon completion of the internship, the student is eligible to take the National Registry Examination, which the student must pass to be certified as a Registered Medical Technologist.

Admission to the Program

To enter this program, students declare a major in medical technology in the freshman year, to assure proper advisement. Majors are declared with the department secretary, Room 103, Lennon Hall. A formal application to the School of Medical Technology is made by the middle of the fall semester of the junior year. Based on the academic record for the freshman and sophomore years, and mid-semester grades of the fall semester of the junior year, as well as an interview, the decision is made as to which applicants will be formally admitted into the clinical year. This decision is competitive and made by the School of Medical Technology. Any students not accepted to the clinical year have the option of completing a major in biology.

Students in the medical technology major pursue a Bachelor of Science degree, and must complete its requirements.

A minimum of 90 credits (including General Education requirements) must be completed at Brockport during the first three years of the program.
