Programme Highlights
Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is crucial in healthcare. MLT professionals conduct tests and do analyses of disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. They handle specimens, like blood and urine, using advanced techniques and equipment. MLT ensures accurate results, aiding clinical decisions and patient care. MLT plays a vital role in the healthcare system, supporting medical professionals and delivering quality care.
Well qualified and experienced faculty | Research oriented programme |
Well Equipped labs for practical demonstration | Collaboration with multi-specialty hospitals and labs |
Visits to Govt. hospitals and NABL accredited labs on weekly basis for clinical practices | Interdisciplinary courses |
Earning of credits by online digital courses | Specialized training, workshop and conferences part of curriculum |
Each student mentored by faculty | Lab and Simulation Training - state-of-the-art labs and high-fidelity simulation facilities to apply your in-depth knowledge to real-world scenarios. |
Field Practicum - to hone your critical thinking and decision-making skills, and to strengthen your delegation and leadership skills. After having successfully completed the second semester university examination the 0student will be qualified to commence the clinical postings for 2-3 weeks in each semester in leading hospitals. One-year full time internship in a hospital is mandatory to enable a student to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology. | Clinical Practicum - Hone your assessment, management and communication skills during two hospital-based practicums. |
Inter-professional Education - In order to prepare you for an integrated role within the health care team, you will have the opportunity to work with students from other programs within the School of Health Sciences. Learning activities are designed using a problem-based learning (PBL) model and include high-fidelity simulations, interactive case-based table-top exercises, and collaborative skill acquisition |
