VISION
The BS Medical Laboratory Technology Department envisions to distinguish for excellence in training highly skilled and compassionate professionals who play a crucial role in advancing healthcare through accurate and innovative laboratory diagnostics. We aspire to foster a culture of continuous learning, research, and collaboration, empowering our graduates to make significant contributions to the field of laboratory medicine, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
MISSION
The mission of a Medical Laboratory Technology program typically revolves around training individuals to become competent and skilled professionals capable of performing various laboratory tests and analyses accurately and efficiently in support of patient diagnosis, treatment, and management.
OBJECTIVE
The enrolled students will be competent with the knowledge and technical skills to obtain national and international certification at the Scientist/technologist level of practice.
They will be capable to have diverse responsibilities in areas of analysis and clinical decision-making, regulatory compliance with applicable regulations, education, and quality assurance/performance improvement wherever laboratory testing is researched, developed or performed.
The students will be trained for financial, operations, marketing, and human resource management of the clinical laboratory to enable cost-effective, high- quality, value-added laboratory services; Information management to enable effective, timely, accurate, and cost-effective reporting of laboratory-generated Information, and; Research design/practice sufficient to evaluate published studies as an informed consumer.
Students will develop and analyze innovative strategies for effective communication with the patients.
To strengthen the decision power and exercise appropriate judgment skills, to be applied especially during a crisis.
Collaboration and outreach: transform the future of medical laboratory sciences, clinical research, and education by fostering novel collaborative alignments among basic and clinical scientists, clinicians, and educators throughout the University, as well as with local and international public and private partners.
ABOUT US
Medical Laboratory Technology is broad and encompasses various aspects of laboratory testing, quality assurance, research, education, and public health, all of which are essential for the accurate diagnosis and management of diseases and the promotion of public health. So a greater demand for Medical Technologists, who constitute 60% of working of total healthcare team, will be raised to cater patient care needs.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates have a wide choice of practice settings: hospitals, independent laboratories, clinics, public health facilities, forensic crime laboratories, sales and marketing of diagnostic instruments and reagents, federal and state regulatory agencies, and research and development of future clinical tests and instruments. There are numerous opportunities for a student to continue his/her education after completing the BSMLS degree. They can peruse higher education in the field of Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Transfusion Medicine.
