Jane in Elk Grove Village, Illinois said: I have a bachelor's degree in. My had a med tech program, but unfortunately closed the program before I could enter it. I worked in my family's pizzeria/restaurant for awhile and now we sold it. I feel like I have to start over and I'm nervous, but this field has interested me. But, I'm having trouble finding colleges with these programs near me, not to mention the tuition some of these are costing. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on what route to follow or type of certification I should get.

I'm still a little confued about the difference between a Medical technologists and technician. What's the difference and type of work like? I've read that sometimes you can get experience at a or certification, but I'm not sure.

I would really appreciate any advice. Hi Jane, since you have a degree in biology, you can get a job as a at a hospital or reference like Lab Corp or Quest Diagnostics. After working for 2 years, you can sit for the AMT Certification (American Medical Technology) with the help of certification review books out there of course. Look up Amt on the internet and they can guide you as to how you qualify to take the exam without having to go back to school. The only difference between a MT and MLT is absolutely the salary (about $4-$6 more per hour). You don't have to get a MLT degree degree before you can become a MT.

You have a Biology Degree and that would means you are going backwards. Why not make money as a lab (about $10-$12 per hour in the lab) and learn from the techs there, then sit and take the AMT certification which would give you MT status after 2 years.

Money not school! Sarah in Florence, South Carolina said: Ditto to most everyone - if you have your bachelors, don't waste your time with a MLT program. MLT schools generally take two years and you graduate with an associates (makes the bachelor's kind of pointless). I graduated with a degree in microbiology and was able to get into a one year program. I don't get a degree for completing the year, I just get the opportunity to sit for the ASCP/NCA boards, which is sort of confusing for my family who doesn't understand why I'd work at a for a year to take a test. If you want a little more time, you could also find a that has MT as a major. You'll probably need to take two years to finish: one for classes and one in labs.

You'll graduate with a bachelor's in Med Tech if you get your credits transferred in but that doesn't change your pay and really isn't worth it unless you don't think you can do it in a year. I went with a one year lab program but you'd better 100% commit for that year you're in school because it has been the hardest year of my life. It's a ton of information and the drop-out/kicked-out rate is pretty high in most the programs I looked into. I really focused my search of MT schools and programs to the south and northeast so I can't really help you if you want to stay in illinois but if you're interested in moving to the east coast, I could point you in the direction of a couple programs I am in North Carolina (Charlotte), could you point me in the direction of a couple programs?

I saw your comment on the board, and thought I'd try to reply to you.

I have my Bachelor's in from UNC @ Charlotte in North Carolina. I am looking for some schools or internships here near Pittsburgh, PA for MT, Histo, or Cyto tech 1 year programs. Any advice or direction you could give would be much appreciated. Regards, Chad Reffitt creffitt@ymail.com.

I've worked as a veterinary technician (just on the job training) four four years, I've worked at the university of texas in galveston as a research over the summer of 2007 as part of an program, and I've done a little research at my home institution.

I've started looking for jobs through the and various other search engines and I am finding that I need to be certified in some way before I can work in a? I really feel like I could learn on the job because that is what I have done in the past.I don't want to spend 2 years re-learning information I already know. What would be the best option for me? YAY Scranton. Dunder Mifflin.

Hey Jane, Im in pretty much the same situation as you, including working at the pizza store, and now looking into MT, I also have my BSc.

Jeffdog in Portland, Oregon said: Okay a CLS is a new updated name for a Medical Technologist. The two are the same! If you want to become one after, go for your associates in a local college in MLT or a CLT program, do your and get certified then either work in a for five years and take a test to become a CLS or a MT and your pay doubles.

Or you could just go for your BS in CLS and do a year internship and become a CLS straight up and get some serious to start out with Can histotechnicans also take the test?

And I am finding that I need to be certified in some way before I can work in a? What would be the best option for me? You just have to decide what direction you want to take your degree/career. Do you want to work in a clinical lab or in research/?

I have my BS in Biotechnology from Marywood - also in Scranton. I've worked in biochemistry/immunology at Tufts (performing countless ELISAs), as an equipment rep for Thermo-Fisher (sales/support, yet lab-oriented) and in a pathology lab. I'm considering going the clinical route (an MT, or perhaps a pathA at some point) but there are plenty of jobs for people with a non-terminal degree. At the BS level, we're generally called a: Research, Research Technician, Research Scientist I/II, -Level Tech (ouch), etc.

Hospitals, pathology labs and blood banks won't take you w/out certification - but biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, research centers and large universities will. I start by looking at all nearby universities/med schools, then all biotech & pharma companies in the area (Sanofi-Pasteur is right down the road!). Then there are TONS of headhunter sites: naturejobs.org, kelly scientific, HHMI (fantastic research opps can show up here for new grads who want to get experience), medzilla, smith hanley, etc. Just be sure to search using 'Assistant', ' or 'Technician' or you'll get swamped with postings that want PhDs and a million years experience! Bonus - the NIH has paid post-bacc internships for recent grads who are interested in research: good luck. Don't get disheartened.

It just takes some digging.:). Since in you're in CA then it's a bit tougher. CA requires a year of so your options are to do a generalist CLS program or limited. Cal St Dominguez hills has one and it'll take anywhere from 2 to 3 years, and Loma Linda's program is 2 years. You can do a limited license program just in one department for 1 year of training at the Quest in San Juan Capistrano. I also have a bio degree and went back to CLS school to get my license.

If you were in another state it would have been easier but CA standards for CLS are tough. The good thing is, the pay is the highest in the nation.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CLINICAL TECHNOLOGIST (MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST) AND A MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIST? I'VE BEEN LAID OFF RECENTLY AS A NUCLEAR MED TECH (AAS) AND SINCE I KNOW THE FIELD IS DEAD I WANT TO MAKE QUICK MOVES INTO ANOTHER FIELD.

I LIKE THE IDEA OF WORKING IN A AND I KNOW BOTH NEED A BACHELOR'S DEGREE BUT WHICH ONE PAYS BETTER? I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND CAN WORK IN NYC IF THAT INFO HELPS FOR PAY SCALE INFO. IM HEARING MIXED INFO REGARDING BOTH SOMEONE HELP ME CLEAR THIS UP I DONT WANT TO WASTE TIME GOING TO SCHOOL FOR ANOTHER DEAD FIELD OR LOW PAYING JOB.

Andrea in Tampa, Florida said: I also was from the research field before I went to my NAACLS, and I know how you feel that you already know everything. But I learned that there is a LOT of information and valuable skills to be learned in the clinical field versus the research field. And it is like any other profession, nursing, x-ray tech, you need to get the proper training. You can start looking at to find programs in your area. You can do a based 12 month program Medical Technology where you are 'on the job' mon-fri just like a regular employee.

You might want to look into Histotechnology or Cytotechnology, if these fields interest you, most of their internships do get paid about $10-12 an hour. Med tech programs do not pay you (sad face). With a Med tech license you are more flexible in what areas you can work in; but the other fields are very interesting as well. Read up on them and find some programs, it will be worth it! Hi Andrea, Do you happen to know what the job market is like in florida (more specifically the southeast)for jobs as a MT/CLS? I am contemplating taking MT as a second degree but I'm skeptical as I have been searching job boards with little results in FL. Although this seems like a profession I would enjoy, I would hate to invest time and money without being able to reap the benefits of my effort.

Usually, the company has positions available. The Miami unit I believe is a large one. The of Quest made an appearance in congress regarding not being able to find qualified people for the jobs the company had available, I believe he was referring to CLS/MT's.

The benefits are pretty decent. You can probably contact Quest H.R. To get more details. Side note: most jobs are not monday - friday and even worse, there are 3 shifts, so working at midnight is not uncommon.

I am particularly interested in the flexibility of the second and third shift, I dread mornings (^^). LiaB in statesboro, Georgia said: I will have my bachelors in in May and I want to become a CLS/MT. I don't want a second BS or a Masters right now. I have search post baccalaureate certificates programs in Georgia but because my chemistry degree did not require me to take any classes I do not have some prerequisites for these programs. I am strongly considering going to technical school to get certified as a CLS/MT. Is technical school a good idea? I am currently in the MT/CLS program.

It is really intense and they give you a lot of info in a short amount of time. But the program is only 16 months long. I will have my BS when I graduate this December.

From what people have told me tech school is not a good idea if you are considering working in the permanently. The pay is not as good and you can only move up so far in most places.

If you just want to do it to see how it is, then I guess that is up to you. But with a BS in MT/CLS you have a lot more job possibilities that are not limited to a lab (ex.

Research, forensics, cdc.). LUNA in Scarsdale, New York said: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CLINICAL TECHNOLOGIST (MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST) AND A MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIST?

There is no difference. I guess the people in charge are trying to change the name from Clinical Lab Technologist to Medical Lab Technologist. I guess it sounds better. But it is the same thing. I am in MT school now.

Lalakl in Charlotte, North Carolina said: I am in North Carolina (Charlotte), could you point me in the direction of a couple programs? Thank you I'm not familiar with the Charlotte area, but there are a few programs here around Raleigh. Maybe you are still looking and would be willing to recolate. Clinical Science at UNC Medical Laboratory Technology at Wake Tech Biotechnology at Durham Tech Community College Biotechnology, Medical Technology, and Forensic Science at Fayetteville State I hope this helps. I graduated last May with a bachelors in. I am really interested in working at a.

After doing some internet research, I have found that there are many types of jobs. I would like to know the differences (salary, job availability) between a Medical Technologist and a Histotechnologist. I seem to hear more about MTs, can they perform the same tasks as a histotech, vice versa, or are they two completely different careers? I have also looked into cytotechs but according to the cytotechs on this forum that job isn't admired very well. Another question, I live in Alabama and the only big lab company here is Labcorp. Regardless of my Biology degree, it seems I can only be hired as a specimen asccessioner/lab asssistant (requiring only basic highschool degree) But I was thinking could I work my way up and maybe they could pay for my training for advancement to a Med Tech or a another job? Has anyone done this?

Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Ok I'm going backwards because they at the med tech program sold me that I could get a job anywhere in the. I already have an ASCP MLT, but I want to soley work in the microbiology department is their a way if I go back to school obtain a BS in Medical Technology and not do my year clinical which I think is redundant since I already have knowledge of chem which is a bunch of troubleshooting the analyzer because it breaks down.a lot. And I surely dont want to go through phlebotomy (if I want to do that I would of just been a phlebotomist. Any suggestions in getting around this situation? I know some hospitals will hire people with BS in Med Tech and let them work for a couple of years and then they apply for their exam since they got their degree in MT but was on the waiting list for MT school since theres limited seating (4 to 6).

Hi Nash, I was wondering where might I find a one year program to prepare me to take the ASCP test. I have a Masters and Bachelors in and worked in a Public for 4 years as an Microbiologist in Diagnostic Immunology, Virology and Mycobacteriology in NY. I moved to virginia and am finding that because I am not certified as a MT, I would not beable to work in a clinical. I would love to here any suggestions from you as to how to get training in the other areas that I am deficient in and obtain my certiication for ASCP.

Thank you for your time and consideration in advance! In Sanford, North Carolina said: I have been an MT for about 14 years in the Department of Defense, Private Sector Research, Educational Research, and even the CDC. My suggestions to you would be to visit each of the four main Certifying bodies that offer the MT/CLS credential. The requirements can be confusing at first and even misleading. The ASCP and the NCA both have alternate pathways of educational and clinical requirements.

My wife and I both are graduates of the George Washington School of Medicine, CLS program and they offer a great Grad/post Bacc. Cert which will assist you in your goals. I served as an educational and credentialing official in the military for about 5 years and would be more than happy to assist you.

My wife and I are no longer in the military and when we initially transitioned, we had the same concerns. Please feel free to contact us via e-mail. I would like your input please I have a BS in and have worked in all types of labs from hospitals, pharmaceuticals and laboratories but could not get the right info about how to become certified as a MT/CLS I had enrolled in a MLT program but it was out of town and by me trying to still work and with gas I couldnt make it to the end could you please share some of your wisdom. Greatly appreciated. I have a Bachelor's Degree in and I am currently in a 2 1/2 year CLT program. Because I already have a degree I cut out about 1 1/2 years off the CLS program.

I started this program January 2011. By January 2012 I will start my 6 month clinicals.

My says that because of my degree I will be able to take the MT/CLS certification exam (despite what the NACCLS website says). There are others who have been in the program before me who were able to do this. There is a huge difference in pay. In my area CLTs make about $36000 a year where CLSs make around $50000. There is also a need for MT/CLSs.

So, if you have a Bachelor's degree in the sciences, I suggest you go find out more from the NAACLS website. I am really enjoying the program and am learning a lot. Hope this was helpful.

So are you saying that since you have your Bachelor's, after you finish the MLT program, instead of talking the MLT certification, you can skip that altogether and take the MT certification? That is the same boat I am in. So you were able to do it and get MT certified? Just got my ASCP MLS Certification and FL License. I have a BS in Medical Technology but graduated from PUerto Rico and the program there is only 6 mths of. Searching for jobs near Orlando FL but everything requires minimum 1 year experience.

How Can I find a job if I'm just starting out? Do they train you once hired? SOme of my internship areas would only allow me to run controls and watch them work. I'm so stressed at the the thought that I haven't been able to learn how to use or run certain tests. Also I don't have everything memorized from all the subjects. Any suggestions and input would be helpful.

In Gainesville, Florida said: If you already have a bachelor degree you can apply to a medical technology program as long as you have the pre-req.Once you have the prereq you can get the certificate post bachelor it takes one year which includes the clinical rotations. Just make sure the program is accredited.Then you have to take the national certification exam, I recommend to take tha ASCP exam, most employers require the ASCP certification.
