Then you'll be interested in our Medical Technology Program. What You Will Do Working with sophisticated technical equipment, you will perform a wide variety of clinical laboratory procedures and analyze information used to help prevent, diagnose, and treat illnesses. While you may not often work directly with patients, the service you perform in the clinical laboratory will directly affect their well-being.
Many medical technologists put their skills to work in hospital laboratories.
But you may also find stimulating assignments in physicians' offices, insurance companies, industrial firms, and public health departments. Of course, you can use this solid foundation in science and technology to springboard to advanced positions in education, management, and research. The University of Hartford offers two program options in Medical Technology. You can work towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology or, if you already have a bachelor's degree in some other field, you can earn a Certificate in Medical Technology. If you're working towards your bachelor's degree, you will spend your first three years studying both biology and chemistry, exploring such topics as human anatomy and physiology, medical microbiology, immunology, and biochemistry.
