Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT)
Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology Syllabus
The B.Sc in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is a three-year undergraduate program designed to train students in the techniques and practices used in medical laboratories. The course provides students with the knowledge and skills to carry out laboratory tests, diagnose diseases, and analyze samples such as blood, urine, and tissue. Students learn to use laboratory equipment, adhere to safety protocols, and provide accurate results for clinical diagnoses.
The program covers subjects like clinical microbiology, hematology, clinical biochemistry, immunology, and pathology, along with practical training in laboratory settings. Graduates are equipped to work in hospitals, diagnostic labs, blood banks, and research institutions, contributing to patient care and disease management.
