| B.Sc MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY |
| Objective |
| The course is designed in semesters to educate and train students in all divisions of clinical laboratory services. The course also imparts training in basic skills in communication, computers, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. The students during forenoon will have intensive theoritical classes conducted by doctors who are specialised in branches of Pathology, Microbiology, Biochemistry and Blood Bank. During afternoon they will be allotted bench work in both simulated and working clinical laboratory. This will make them to learn and answer questions from senior technologists and also to handle “on call” situation. |
| |
» The department has created its own CDROM for various interactive sessions on peripheral blood smear interpretation, urine analysis, blood collection etc which is most integral part of training. |
| |
» The course runs through six semesters and includes small project work. The evaluation is totally based on analytical questions, case based study, practical bench work, unit work, semester tests/exams and project work. This course is also unique as it includes lessons and day to day activity on Total quality management, quality control and laboratory informatics. |
| |
» A graduate of BSc(MLT) is usually absorbed as medical technologist, to begin with. Later he is promoted to laboratory supervisor and supervisor cum lab manager. |
| |
» Other options are to do a Masters in MLT programme, join as technician in Pharma industry, Junior research fellowships offered by Government of India and SAARC nations. He also stands in a better position for abroad assignment in bioinformatics and clinical laboratory services. |
| |
» Medical laboratory technicians should be highly skilled with accuracy and reliable work. They are “problem” solvers setting high standards of responsibility in allied health group. For someone who chooses a career as medical laboratory technician, the exploration never ends. |
