Educational and Training Requirements for Medical Technologists: A medical technologist career requires at least a bachelorâs degree, preferably in a scientific field. Additionally, the completion of an accredited medical technologist program is also required. The program must be accredited by the National Accrediting Agency of Clinical Laboratory Science (NAA-CLS).
To become a surgical technologist, you need either a postsecondary certificate, which can take just a few months, or an associate degree, which requires two years. A high school diploma is needed to enter any programs of study. Some states regulate the profession by requiring certification. RNs have three educational paths. The first two, a diploma from an accredited nursing program or an associate degree in nursing, take about as much time as the surgical tech education.
