The medical technology (MEDT) field is a healthcare specialty where professionals known as medical technologists (or medical laboratory scientists, MLS) conduct essential lab tests that support health maintenance, disease detection, treatment monitoring, and illness diagnosis. These laboratory findings play a crucial role in delivering effective healthcare services. This diverse profession encompasses multiple scientific areas including chemistry, blood analysis (hematology), blood transfusion science (immunohematology), immune system studies (immunology), and microorganism research (microbiology).
MEDT is a dynamic profession that continuously progresses. Growing healthcare needs and emerging job prospects have increased the need for skilled medical laboratory scientists. Professionals can find work in various settings such as hospitals, medical practices, specialized testing facilities, genetic laboratories, research institutions, animal healthcare centers, and other diagnostic labs. MEDT education also opens doors to diverse career paths including medical practice, crime lab work, scientific investigation, teaching, healthcare management, laboratory regulation consulting, and numerous other opportunities.
The educational pathway follows a 22-step career structure, starting with an associate degree for Medical Lab Technicians (MLT) at community colleges and progressing to a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Learners first acquire fundamental MLT laboratory competencies before advancing to university-level training in clinical implementation and analytical skills required for bachelor's-level practitioners at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa (UHM). Kapiolani Community College (KCC) provides the initial MLT associate degree program.
