Medical Technology, B.S.: Cytotechnology Option
The Cytotechnology Option is through Experiential Learning only.
The option in cytotechnology leads to both a Bachelor of Science degree and eligibility for national certification in cytotechnology. Cytotechnologists can scan slides of cells from body surfaces and body fluids to detect abnormalities; e.g. cancer, and report their findings to physicians. Students attend a cytotechnology educational program for clinical training. The hospital selects the students for clinical preceptorship.
