BS Medical Laboratory Technology
Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) program aims to produce health professionals who will contribute an important role to the health sector particularly in clinical and research laboratories. This is a four-year degree program that produce highly motivated and skilled graduates equipped with the knowledge to lead a successful career in the field of Medical Laboratory Technology. Medical Laboratory Technologists are an integral part of the healthcare system because they play a key role in the health of the community by timely diagnosing health problems. MLT graduates assist the physicians/practitioners in results interpretations, disease prevention, public health strategies, and even in policymaking both in public and private institutions. We have state-of-art facilities in order to provide an optimal environment for teaching and practical exposure to our students under one roof through our highly qualified faculty. This program has a bright future and scope, especially in the clinical diagnostics and research field.
Moreover, the collaboration with King Edward Medical University is a landmark for MLT students, enhancing their research opportunities and professional development through collaborative seminars and hands- on training workshops in the domain of Medical Laboratory Technology.
