I know majors don't matter when applying to medical school but I have a little predicament.

What the heck kind of school do you go to that offers a major in nuclear medicine technology??

In my situation I see it offered mainly at CC as an associates, but some smaller lib/art schools stretch it out to four years by offering internships and more bio.

Yup, exactly the case.

Personally - and I wouldn't just take my word for it, do some research - I wouldn't bother. I've never seen a job listing that asks for a degree in that major. As far as curriculum goes, clinical laboratory science just is not on the HR radar. Biology, chemistry, engineering, on the other hand... the marketability of a classic STEM degree is better suited to entry-level healthcare positions, and just make it seem unnecessary when laboratory skills can be acquired via extracurricular research.
