Through this blog, I acknowledge the first year of the syllabus of the Bachelor of Science in Medical Lab Technology (BMLT) degree program and it is the key for all incoming students to become more curious to take this course for admission. The more interesting part is we have full facilities for students to build their careers. Why is it necessary to understand the syllabus and benefits behind this?
Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is a combination of healthcare & Technology where students learn techniques and instrument principles through practical hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge to diagnose and monitor a patient’s result with interpretation.
The duration of this course shall be for a period of a full three years.
