The curriculum for students in the three-plus-one program fulfills the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory<br />
Sciences. Students must complete an interdepartmental major<br />
concentration consisting <strong>of</strong> courses in biology, chemistry and<br />
mathematics. In addition, it is recommended that medical technology<br />
majors take Chem 203 Analytical Chemistry, two courses in physics and a<br />
course in computer science.<br />
Students in the three-plus-one track who are accepted for a 12-month<br />
clinical internship begin their internships at the end <strong>of</strong> their junior year.<br />
Following completion <strong>of</strong> the internship, they have earned the necessary<br />
120 credits for the B.S. degree in medical technology from <strong>Hartwick</strong>, and<br />
a certificate indicating completion <strong>of</strong> the school <strong>of</strong> medical technology<br />
(MT). They may then be eligible to take the National Registry<br />
Examination, the passage <strong>of</strong> which earns the pr<strong>of</strong>essional certification,<br />
MT (ASCP).<br />
The specific requirements <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hartwick</strong>’s medical technology program and<br />
the general college requirements for the baccalaureate degree permit<br />
sufficient flexibility for students to take advantage <strong>of</strong> numerous <strong>of</strong>fcampus<br />
study programs applicable to their pr<strong>of</strong>ession. This is in keeping<br />
with the multi-faceted responsibilities <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional medical<br />
technologists (electronic maintenance, computer programming, business<br />
and personnel management and teaching techniques).<br />
Medical Technology<br />
