The Medical Technology program at The Ohio State Unviersity is a nationally accredited program that awards graduates a Bachelor of Science degree in Allied Medical Professions upon successful completion.

We currently offer three tracks of study for students depending on your individual career goals:

• The CERTIFICATION TRACK prepares students to become nationally registered medical technoligists (clincial laboratory scientists) and work in laboratory positions upon graduation. The certification track can accept a maximum of 30 students per year.
  
• The MEDICAL SCIENCE TRACK was specifically developed to meet the needs and career goals of students interested in graduate school or post-baccalaureate professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, and veterinary school.  Students in this track receive an outstanding knowledge base in the pathophysiology of diseases from which they can build to meet their individual career goals.  In addition, students will be given the knowledge to correlate laboratory data with clinical disease states in five major areas of study: chemistry, transfusion medicine, immunology, hematology, and microbiology. Students in this track take all of the required didactic courses in medical technology, but are not required to take the associated laboratory courses. This allows these students to tailor their education program to meet their individual future needs by leaving room for pre-med courses (or other pre-professional coursework).
  
• The MLT ARTICULATION TRACK was developed to assist certified MLT/CLT students to become eligible for the MT/CLS certification exams through ASCP or NCA by providing them with the academic portion of their eligibility requirements.  To meet eligibility requirements for the exams, articulation students must be certified as an MLT or CLT, obtain a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, and have at least three years clinical lab experience within the last ten years (for ASCP) or two years clinical lab experience within the last 4 years (for NCA).  Refer to the ASCP or NCA website for the most current requirment information. Experience must be in all areas including Blood Banking, Chemistry, Hematology, Microbiology, Immunology, and Clinical Microscopy.  The articulation track in the MT program allows students to complete the requirements for a bachelor's degree in two years or less.  If necessary, this program can be completed on a part-time basis.
