Studying medical technology usually helps students develop the skills necessary to operate complex equipment used to acquire information in the diagnosis of patients in various healthcare facilities. Many schools around the world offer programs in this field.

A program in pre-veterinary medicine can help prepare students who like to work with animals to go to veterinary school. Students pursuing a pre-vet course of study may also be able to work at an internship with a veterinarian in order to find out more about the profession.
