ACTIVITY 4: WHAT I LEARNED
1. Medical technology is an auxiliary branch of laboratory medicine that deals with the
examination by various chemicals, microscopic, bacteriologic, and other laboratory
procedures which will aid the physician in the diagnosing, understanding and treatment
of diseases.
2. Medical technologist examines body fluids and cells looking for pathogenic foreign
microorganisms and runs test to show how the patient is responding to treatments using
technology and are also responsible for preparing specimens for examination.
3. There are a lot of career opportunities open for a graduate of Medical Technology some
are, Analytical Chemist, Bacteriologist, Biochemist, Blood Bank Technologist, Chemist,
Clinical Chemistry Technologist, Crime Lab Analyst, Cytotechnologist, Medical
Laboratory Technician, Hemotherapist, Histologist, Phlebotomists and Medical
