MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
A medical technologist performs various chemical, microscopic, bacteriologic,
immunologic and other medical laboratory procedures used by a physician for
determining the presence and extent of disease. Approximately two-thirds of all
medical technologists are employed in hospital laboratories. Others work in
physicians' offices, armed services and government laboratories and pharmaceu-
tical houses.
The student must have a solid background in chemistry and biology. The curricu-
lum involves three years work embracing general education, chemistry, biology,
and some physics and mathematics at Edinboro University. This is followed by
twelve months of study, including didactic and practical training, at an approved
hospital. The graduate is eligible for the national certification examinations given
by the Board of Registry of Medical Technology and the National Certification
Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel.
Because of the limited availability of clinical facilities for the fourth year of train-
ing, only a restricted number of students can be accepted in this program.
Students must apply to and be accepted by a hospital for the fourth year of train-
ing. Students will be assisted in locating suitable hospital training, but Edinboro
University cannot guarantee the availability of clinical training.
Students are admitted provisionally to the Medical Technology curriculum.
Students should apply for formal admission early in their sophomore year. The
Medical Technology Committee will process the application and determine the
student's eligibility based on the following criteria:
a. Quality point average of 2.5 or above.
b. Quality point average of 2.5 or above in required supporting courses.
c. Minimum grade of C in each required supporting course.
d. Advisor's recommendation.
e. Written statement of career goals.

Fees
Fees charged by the University are the same as those charged for all other pro-
grams. Total costs for each of the first three years will be at the standard rates
charged for all Edinboro University students.
During the year in the hospital, students will pay Edinboro a total of $100 (sub-
ject to change). They may be required to pay a fee directly to the hospital for
instruction.
