Brief Introduction of Program
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BS-MLT) is a four-year undergraduate program that provides comprehensive knowledge and training in the field of diagnostic and clinical laboratory sciences. The program equips students with the technical expertise to perform, analyze, and validate laboratory tests essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases.
The primary purpose of this program is to develop competent, ethical, and skilled laboratory technologists who can contribute to healthcare delivery systems, medical research, and public health initiatives. The program aims to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical training to ensure graduates are prepared to meet national and international standards in laboratory practice.
- Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
- Eligibility: F.Sc. Pre-Medical / A-Level (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) or equivalent qualification.
- Curriculum Coverage:
- Basic Medical Sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry)
- Core Laboratory Sciences (Hematology, Histopathology, Chemical Pathology, Microbiology, Immunology, Blood Banking, Molecular Biology & Genetics)
- Laboratory Instrumentation, Automation, and Quality Control
- Research Methodology & Biostatistics
- Clinical Rotations and Internship in affiliated hospitals
- Teaching Methodology: Lectures, laboratory demonstrations, hospital-based training, research projects, and case-based learning.
Graduates of the MLT program have diverse career opportunities, including:
- Clinical laboratories in hospitals and diagnostic centers.
