title: An undergraduate medical technology clinical elective program.
abstract: The University of Washington Medical Technology Program initiated an 11-week elective clinical curriculum in 1973. Sixty-six students have completed either a clinical specialist, research, or generalist program in various Seattle hospitals or in selected hospitals in rural Washington and in Alaska. Results indicate that there is a major correlation between elective choices and subsequent employment. In addition, this elective curriculum is not jeopardizing student performance on the national certification examination.
