There is a shortage of Medical Technologists everywhere in the nation, but it is especially true in Arizona. This is due to the fact that both U of A and ASU have recently shut down their Med Tech programs. This adds to the rising demand for Med Tech in the area. Sonora Quest, the biggest reference lab in the state, has 22 openings for Medical Lab Technicians I. They are willing to accept students. If you are looking for a new career, this may be a hot one to be in.
