Take note:
Rotational clinical posts in a variety of laboratory departments, including as biochemistry, microbiology, hematology/blood bank, histology, and cytology, are included in the clinical laboratory practicum.
Students will be given a project to complete in the seventh semester. Before the final exam, this project needs to be finished and turned in to the institute.
After completing the program, graduates will be able to:
Perform a wide range of clinical laboratory investigations accurately and safely.
Apply knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, pathology, and immunology in diagnostic testing.
Apply laboratory safety, infection control, and professional ethical standards.
Use biostatistics and research methods in laboratory and healthcare research.
Communicate laboratory findings effectively with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders.
Manage laboratory resources, workflows, documentation, and basic laboratory operations.
Contribute to disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, public health, and medical research.
Pursue careers as medical laboratory scientists/technologists in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, research institutions, public health laboratories, and related healthcare organizations.
The Bachelor of Science in Laboratory Medicine (BSc Lab Medicine) is a four-year undergraduate health science program designed to prepare competent medical laboratory scientists for diagnostic, clinical, and research settings. The program combines basic medical sciences with specialized areas such as clinical biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, pathology, immunology, molecular biology, histology, blood banking, laboratory instrumentation, and quality management. It emphasizes practical laboratory training, clinical practicum, research, and internship.
