Welcome

I want to give you a great welcome to the Medical technology program. Medical Technologists profession is of utmost importance due to the fact that up to 70% of medical decisions are based upon lab results. Also, medical technologists can work on hospital laboratories, private labs, blood banks, pharmaceutical industries and university teaching. In this program you will learn to make and interpret results from blood tests, work with blood products, identification of bacteria and other microorganisms that produce infections, identify possible hematologic conditions, detection of chemical blood levels and analysis of other body fluids to see how the body is working and if there is an anomaly to tell the physician. Within the program you will work on external clinics to put on practice the knowledge acquired during the program. Our facilities and academic personnel will help you make this academic year a success. We all want you to be a smooth and successful year. All we want for you is to lean and prosper in order to become a successful, excellent professional medical technologist. This manual will provide you with information about your studies during your year of medical technology. Any concerns that you have you can reach our faculty at the school and we will be glad to work with your concerns. Mayra Cummings Méndez MS.MT MLS (ASCP)CM Medical Technology Program Director

This student manual provides information about the politics of the Science in Medical Technology

program. The manual does not substitute the students manual from Ana G Mendez University. It serves

as an additional guide about specific information of the Medical Technology program.

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science with specialization in Medical Technologist as well as the post certificate in

medical technology is designed to provide students with knowledge of liberal arts as well as specialized

courses in science. The principal objective of the program is to prepare medical technologist with

technical abilities knowledge of the area, and critical thinking that are needed for a high performance in

their careers. As well as to educate the professionals and the ethics of an ever changing world.

The institution has to forms to recruit students for the certificate program: Either the students is

admitted to the institution and the Certificate its given during the Fourth year, or the student that is

from Ana G Mendez University or other University has completed its Bachelor in Science and is

admitted to the Certificate Program.

The plan of studies is developed so students will have knowledge and communicative abilities needed

for practical work, supervision and educational in a clinical scenario or research. Students admitted to

the BS in medical technology will register in basic courses on Biology, Chemistry Mathematics and

general courses needed for a bachelor’s degree. After completing 109 credits and after being three years

at the university, the students have to apply to the professional area of Medical Technology. The

completion of this phase does not guarantee the admission to the professional phase. Other students

who have a BS in natural science and have the requirements for the professional stage also can apply to

the program.

Bachelor of Sciences in Medical Technology and /or Post Bachelor Certificate in Medical

Technology Sciences (Professional Certificate)

The professional phase of the program includes advanced courses in the natural sciences as well as

basic and advanced courses in clinical laboratory. The program consists of a total of 155 credits that

should be taken in 8 semesters that also include summer courses. The studies plan is divided between

43 credits of general Studies course, 40 of science and math courses, 26 credits in courses of Biology

and Chemistry and 45 in the area of professional development. The studies plan offers students to

develop cognitive abilities communicative and ethic abilities to be able to perform the profession.

The Post bachelor certificate in Medical Technology has a tenth month duration and consists of a total

of 45 credits. These are divided between 26 credits in theory and a practicum of 19 credits

the professor indicates.

Academic Evaluation

Courses will be evaluated between tests and projects that will be discussed and informed by the

syllabus of each course. Upon miss an exam, the students should bring a justifiable excuse and the

professor will determine how to offer a makeup.

Clinical practice exams makeups

The student who takes the clinical practice exams and does not pass with a minimum grade of 70%;

could take a makeup exam a week after been received the grade. This is for the purpose so that the

students can study and comprehend the theoretic phase of the clinical practice. Also, this could serve as

student .

Policies and Procedures

1) Advising & guiding students through the program

Students of the Medical Technology program can receive advice on the available schedules provided by

the teachers and the program director. In this type of advice the student can be oriented on the

performance of their courses or any doubt about the program. If the student reports that he has other

problems that are affecting him in his academic performance, he is referred to the Office of quality of

life where he can be assisted by counselors. The action is documented through a referral found on the

website of the institution known as EARS (Interventions). All management is worked with strict

confidentiality.

11



2) Clinical assignment

The Medical Technology program guarantees that the student has the opportunity to carry out their

clinical practice in hospitals and laboratories in the different areas of the country. If the practice center

assigned to the student for any reason indicates that they cannot receive the student, the program will

look for another clinical practice assignment. The student must have transportation to perform the

clinical practice and it is not guaranteed that it is close to home.

3) Student grievance & appeals

Students who have a complaint or appeal due to situation with teachers or the administration and

understand that their rights have been violated or need to claim any information relevant to academic

processes should visit the program director's office. If you have problems with any of the courses

presented, you should talk directly with the professor if you cannot resolve the situation, you must file

a complaint with the program director. If an agreement cannot be reached with the student, he or she

will be referred to the Office of Quality of Life.

The student must maintain academic progress during their class program, the minimum approval in all

courses is 70%. All students will be kept informed about their academic progress and will also be able

to see their grades in the area of https://gurabo.uagm.edu/es/asuntos-estudiantiles/servicios-

electronicos. Student can only fail in 1 course, he will be offered a comprehensive exam. Failure to

approve it must leave the program due to academic deficiency. You can apply next semester but space

is not guaranteed. You have only two semesters to request readmission to the program.

Assistance

Attendance is mandatory, work done in class and the student is not present will be awarded a zero in

his grade and there are no refills. This will affect your average and class performance. Unexcused

absences are referred through the EARS system.

Conduct

The student must comply at all times with the rules, policies and procedures of the student handbook of

the program in addition to the student handbook of the institution. Students who do not comply with

the required conduct during the study period in the institution and in the practice centers will be

dismissed from the program for violating the rules, policies and procedures of the institution. He will

not have the right to request readmission in the program.

12



Suspension Cases in the Practice Center

The student who for any reason the practice center suspends for excessive absences, consistently fails
