Department of Medical Technology Medical technologists have been trained at MCV since 1932. However, the Department (formerly school) of Medical Technology was not formally established un- til 1952. The school offered a certificate and or degree program, meeting the requirements of the American Medical Association as implemented through the Board of Schools of the American Society of Clinical Patholog- ists (ASCP). In 1961-62 the certificate program was dis- continued, and all students accepted must have pre- viously completed 90 semester hours, which included medical technology prerequisites. Upon completion of the course, the students were awarded a Bachelor of Science in medical technology degree. Beginning with the 1974 fall term, students must have completed 60 semester hours including medical technology prere- quisites. Upon completion of the prescribed curriculum, the student is awarded a Bachelor of Science in medical technology degree. In 1967 a graduate program was begun leading to a Master of Science degree in medical technology. The primary objective of the Department of Medical Technology is to provide the student with supe- rior basic and advanced studies in medical laboratory science (1983-84 Medical College of Virginia Bulletin).
