Are medical technologists limited to working in a hospital laboratory setting?
No. Because of the medical technologist’s comprehensive course work, extensive training and problem-solving skills, many choices for practice are available including hospital, clinic, public health, research, and private laboratories; companies manufacturing laboratory analysis systems, supplies, equipment or media; state or national crime labs; physician office laboratories; fertility laboratories; and biotechnology, food, and cosmetic industries. A Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology also provides a strong foundation if a student should decide to pursue a career in medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, or other advanced degree.
