The majority of Medical Technologists pursue careers in hospital or clinical laboratories. Graduates may also work for blood banks, health maintenance organizations, independent laboratories, pharmaceutical firms, insurance companies or research labs. Many advance to supervisory or management responsibilities in these labs.

Other career areas include government regulatory agencies, education, and research. Large pharmaceutical or scientific equipment companies employ graduates in development, quality control, or sales. Graduates must become certified by passing an examination by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists or the
National Certification Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel.

Other graduates have successfully completed graduate school in the pre-professional health areas. The Medical Technology program is excellent preparation for pre-medicine or physician assistant graduate school.
