The undergraduate MLS (BSc in Medical Laboratory Science) program is intended to prepare the students for professional service in the application of medical science and laboratory techniques. This includes both theory coursework in biology, chemistry, microbiology, and medical technology, as well as practical laboratory training. After completion, they can work effectively with health professionals in conducting diagnosis, testing samples, and keeping abreast of the condition of the patient.
It takes about 3 to 4 years of education, offering the students different areas of expertise in hematology, immunology, and clinical biochemistry, besides teaching students on laboratory management, quality control, and patient safety. A medical laboratory scientist plays a major role in healthcare by working in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research facilities; the work aids doctors in getting an accurate diagnosis and therefore caring for the patients properly. A B.Sc. MLS opens the doors to a career with a growing demand in the health sector, and possibilities for advanced studies and certifications.
