Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology at Indiana University Northwest
Medical Director: Mason Program Director: Demitroulas EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Length of the Program Four years; three years (90 semester hours) of prerequisites and 12 months (32 semester hours) of professional course work.
Structure of the Program The prerequisites may be taken on a part-time basis; the professional program is presented in a full- time, day format only. The program begins in June of each year. Students in the program are
full-time and attend class Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Design of the Professional Curriculum The curriculum is designed so that students attend clinical laboratory instruction 30 hours per week and didactic instruction for 10 hours per week throughout the year. Didactic lecture presentations are designed to complement laboratory experience with emphasis on theory and pathophysiology. Laboratory instruction stresses development of clinical laboratory skills, understanding of the principles of analysis procedures, instrumentation, trouble shooting, and problem-solving techniques.
Case studies are included to enable students to correlate laboratory data with disease states and develop a better understanding of the role of laboratory analysis in patient care.
Laboratory instruction is designed to emphasize a one-to-one instructional technique with a hands-on approach to instrumentation during the focus of the clinical experience.
Opportunity for Students to Work Students may be employed part time during the clinical year.
