Pathology
Medical Technology Program
Medical technologists are laboratory scientists who are part of the medical
team of specialists that work together to determine the presence, extent or
absence of disease. They do this by performing a full range of laboratory tests
from simple blood screens to more complex tests to detect diseases such as
cancer, coronary artery disease and diabetes.
In conjunction with Ohio State University, School of Allied Medical
Professionals, medical technology students are given the opportunity to complete
a clinical internship at MetroHealth Medical Center. This internship is
comprised of five rotations in each of the following disciplines of clinical
laboratory science:

- Chemistry
- Immunology
- Transfusion Medicine
- Microbiology
- Hematology
The students work under the supervision of a practicing medical technologist
to apply the theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills learned in the academic
setting to the clinical setting. Upon graduation with a bachelor’s degree of
science, and passing the Clinical Board Registry, the student receives
certification as a medical technologist under the American Society of Clinical
Pathologists (ASCP). See link below for additional information.
