Medical technologists possess a broad range of analytical laboratory skills. One viable career path for medical technologists is employment in forensic science laboratories. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of technologists employed in the nation's nonfederal forensic science laboratories, their routine assignments, knowledge and skills related to the job at the time of hiring, and potential future employment opportunities. In this descriptive study, a selfadministered survey was used to gather data and perceptions of forensic science laboratory directors. Approximately 6% of the nation's forensic scientists have backgrounds in medical technology and perform analyses in areas involving biological materials, drugs, and microscopy. Laboratory directors regard medical technologists as viable candidates for 57% of current and future vacant positions, but these positions are dependent on the type of service provided.
