Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT)

Overview

B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is an Undergraduate Program offered by Lisie College of Allied Health Sciences.

Medical Laboratory Technology is an Allied Health specialty concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases through the use of clinical laboratory tests. Though the Medical Lab technologists spend less time with patients than doctors and nurses, medical laboratory professionals are just as dedicated to patient’s health. As vital members of the health care team, medical laboratory professionals play a critical role in collecting the information needed to give the best care to an ill or injured patient. The fact is that the practice of modern medicine would be impossible without the tests performed in the laboratory. Medical laboratory professionals have unlimited choices of practice settings. Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, public health facilities, and commercial laboratories all have positions open right now for qualified laboratory professionals. In these settings, communication and research skills are highly valued. Employment of clinical laboratory workers is expected to grow as the volume of laboratory tests increases with population growth and the development of new types of tests. Students are trained in state -of-the art laboratories of clinical biochemistry, clinical pathology, clinical hematology, bacteriology, mycology, virology, parasitology, transfusion medicine, immunology, molecular technology etc.
