The medical technology program at the University of Vermont was modified in 1972 to create a 2 + 2 integrated curriculum with specialty options progressing that associate degree to baccalaureate degree. This design allows the fundamentals acquired in the associate degree curriculum of the medical laboratory technician (MLT) to serve as a practical and theoretical foundation that can be expanded upon in the baccalaureate degree curriculum of the medical technologist (MT). Options in the baccalaureate degree curriculum are generalist, specialist in clinical chemistry, in hematology, and in clinical microbiology. The design of this program provides a response to the changing role of the clinical laboratory practitioner.
佛蒙特大学的医学技术项目于1972年进行了修改，创建了一个2 + 2综合课程，有专业方向可供选择，该课程将副学士学位提升至学士学位。这种设计使医学实验室技术员（MLT）副学士学位课程中获得的基础知识能够作为实践和理论基础，在医学检验师（MT）的学士学位课程中得以拓展。学士学位课程的专业方向包括通才、临床化学专家、血液学专家和临床微生物学专家。该项目的设计回应了临床实验室从业者角色的变化。
