This page fails to mention an important group in the technologist milieu-medical imaging technologists. The original author or someone equally inclined should add this important and as of yet, unstated/recognized group of technologists.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.205.109.65 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

That article already exists: Radiologic technologist

techologist as a general term

Can not a person who works with technology toward the betterment of mankind be considered a "technologist"? This is the context to which I have always heard and understood the term.

In my country, you must graduate from a recognized program and have several years work experience to be officially a technologist. You can 'consider' someone a technologist in the context you describe, and it's likely that a person that works with technology as you describe could apply to the governing bodies for the designation and associated benefits. For instance a Canadian Engineering Technologist does not need a green card to work in the United States. I would assume the reverse is also true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.184.32 (talk) 12:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's as good point. As the article states, the term "technologist" is used within the scientific and engineering communities. If you are aware of other communities or sources that define the term in a broader sense please start a disabmiguation page.--ndyguy 15:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I use and refer to the term as many other do in my field, to represent a mix between design / technology as a profession. A multimedia technologist for example is a key bridge between the design and computer programming worlds and is able to communicate and work in both creative and technical contexts due to a wide knowledge base and skillset. Additionally it refers to the benefit this kind of team member brings to projects by being able to bring together creative and technical minds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.148.148 (talk) 10:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Technologist As A Profession in the United States

As described in Profession, the engineering Technologist is not licensed and has no direct access to provide services. The technologist is legally equivalent to a technician in that an licensed engineer is required to perform works that affect the public. This is not so in other countries. ABET is moving toward requiring significantly more education and experience to become an engineer. Why then should engineering technology be considered '...separate, but intimately related professions."
