Welcome to the Rochester General Hospital School of Medical Technology! I invite you to explore our Program and become familiar with the excellent educational environment present in our Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.

Up to three quarters of all medical decisions are based at least in part on laboratory data. We are definitely members of the health care team and are engaged in truly meaningful work, making a difference in patients’ health and wellness.

Our Values statement says it best! We are extraordinary people called to do extraordinary work!

Our Program was founded in 1934 in order to educate qualified students in the profession of medical technology/clinical laboratory science. We are accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. (NAACLS, 5600 North River Rd., Suite 720, Rosemont, IL  60018) or www.naacls.org.

The Laboratories at Rochester General Hospital perform several million tests per year, utilizing state of the art instrumentation, computer systems, and facilities. We offer an outstanding faculty of technical specialists and MD / PhDs. Our students have the invaluable opportunity to see and learn from both normal specimens and abnormal specimens covering a wide range of specialties.

The opportunities are practically endless.
