Health Sciences - Medical Technology/CLS

Program Overview

Medical Technology Program is offered by the CHS' Department of Health Sciences. It is one of six submajors in the Clinical Laboratory Sciences (CLS) degree program. As a Medical Technologist / Clinical Laboratory Scientist, you'll be trained in the theoretical and practical aspects of laboratory medicine, which are critical to the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. You'll use microscopes, computers, sophisticated laboratory equipment and instrumentation in your work. You will be trained in both the theoretical and practical aspects of clinical/laboratory medicine–chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, and blood banking. Medical technology offers a wide variety of career options, including hospitals, clinics, independent laboratories, public health facilities, business, industry, research, sales and marketing. Students also may use this major to prepare for medical or graduate school.

When you successfully complete the pre-professional criteria, , you will be eligible for professional clinical training at various clinical sites in southeastern Wisconsin. Upon graduation, you will also be eligible for professional certification through the respective national accrediting organizations.
