MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

Professor Jorgensen

A Bachelor of Science degree with a major in medical

technology requires the satisfactory completion of: (1) at

least 25 academic course units, of which not fewer than 17

units must be earned at Roanoke College; and (2) one year of

clinical work after acceptance at an accredited hospital, for

which the student will earn eight units of credit.A minimum

GPA of 2.5 overall and 2.5 in the science courses taken is

required. Apply for the clinical year in June of the year prior

to admission. Acceptance to the clinical school is not

guaranteed and is competitive. An affiliation relationship exists

between Roanoke College and the medical technology

program of Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

This program generally requires the equivalent of three years

of college study prior to the year of clinical work. Students

must fulfill the core requirements of the College, the major

program which is outlined below, and sufficient elective credit

to achieve the units required for graduation.

A major in medical technology consists of a minimum of 12

course units as described below:

Biology: Biology 115 (Diversity of Life), Biology 120

(Continuity of Life), Biology 215 (Components of Life),

Biology 235 (Microbiology), Biology 430 (Immunology), and

at least two units chosen from Biology 230 (Human Anatomy

and Physiology I), Biology 260 (Human Anatomy and

Physiology II), and Biology 390 (Advanced Cell Biology).

Chemistry: Chemistry 111-112 (General) and Chemistry

221-222 (Organic).

Physics: Physics 101 (Concepts).

In addition, the student is advised to take Chemistry 341

(Biochemistry) and Computer Science 150 (Introduction to

Computer Science I) for elective credit. Statistics 101

(Introductory) is strongly recommended for satisfying part of

the mathematics General Education requirement.

Biology 120 is required for all Biology courses above the 100

level.

For additional details, including information about

scholarships and applications for clinical work, the student is

advised to consult with the medical technology advisor, Dr.

Darwin Jorgensen, at the earliest opportunity.
