The student is also required to complete a practicum of a minimum of 800 hours of experience in an approved nursing facility under the supervision of an Ohio licensed nursing home administrator. Because of the need for close supervision of the student registered for this practicum experience, it is recommended that the placement be in a facility in close proximity to Bowling Green. The student should also be aware that 132 hours are required for graduation in the long-term care administration option. This option has been approved by the Ohio Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators and may not be modified without the approval of the board. Collectively, applications taken from each of these disciplines enable clinicians to make a comprehensive assessment of each patient.
Most medical technologists work in laboratories.
They may be located in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, research centers, industrial and commercial settings. Medical technologists also work in the areas of biotechnology, toxicology and various specialties such as cytogenetics and transplantation. Students are encouraged to acquire a liberal arts education during the first three years while completing the prerequisite science courses. The senior year is devoted to professional study and training through lectures, laboratory instruction, seminars and supervised clinical practice at an affiliated hospital laboratory. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive a bachelor of science in medical technology and certificate of clinical training, and are eligible to take either of the national certification examinations for medical technologists.
