Medical Technologist Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical technologist in Minnesota?

To qualify, you need a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science or a related life science field and national certification, most commonly through the ASCP Board of Certification. After submitting your application and documentation to the Minnesota Department of Health, you receive a state license that employers verify before hire.
Which companies hire medical technologists in Minnesota?
Employers hiring medical technologists in Minnesota right now include Mayo Clinic, Hennepin Healthcare, and Winona Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and the concentration of specialty care around the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and the Twin Cities metro drive consistent year-round hiring across disciplines.
Which Minnesota cities have the most medical technologist jobs?
The cities with the most medical technologist openings in Minnesota are Minneapolis, Austin, and Winona. The Twin Cities metro drives volume through its dense cluster of hospital systems and academic medical centers, while Rochester's openings are anchored heavily by Mayo Clinic, one of the largest laboratory employers in the country, and Duluth benefits from regional health systems serving both the city and the broader Lake Superior area.
