A Medical Laboratory Technology MSc qualification enables students to join the workforce in diagnostic labs, research centers and healthcare institutions along with hospitals. Hospital employment opportunities for individuals with an MSc in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) include positions as Medical Laboratory Scientist as well as Lab Supervisor and Pathology Technician and Quality Assurance Officer. As a staff member you will conduct specialist diagnostic assessments and evaluate test samples to provide precise laboratory results that doctors need for medical diagnoses and therapy planning. Your duties may include running laboratory tasks as well as equipment maintenance responsibilities alongside ensuring the implementation of safety protocols.
Within the hospital environment you can pursue professional development which includes positions in research as well as administration and teaching responsibilities. Hospital lab professionals who want clinical research experience can team up with doctors for medical studies or pursue training that leads to specialization in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular diagnostics, or hematology. Hospital-based careers include working for infection control as well as blood banking and forensic science. Professional certification expansion allows you to build expert qualifications that lead to better hospital laboratory and research institution roles.
