  A Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program prepares students to become skilled professionals who analyze patient samples, aiding in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. The graduates of this program work in hospitals, research labs, medical schools, and public health facilities. Students in this program develop expertise in areas such as hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunohematology, blood coagulation, histopathology, and molecular diagnostics. The program emphasizes a wide range of laboratory tests, including analysis of blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids (such as semen, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural, and peritoneal fluids) using advanced instrumentation. Students also learn to establish and maintain a quality control and assurance program to ensure the accuracy and reliability of laboratory results. Students also develop the ability to interpret laboratory findings and participate in clinical decision-making. The graduate can work in hospital labs, research labs, blood banks, pharmaceutical companies, and other industries.

After the program, the student can display the following competencies at the career entry level:

  • Collaborate with diverse healthcare team members to provide patient care and perform quality, cost-effective laboratory procedures.
  • Incorporate concepts learned through classroom instruction and clinical practice to ensure accurate, meaningful laboratory results that reflect current standards of care.
  • Practice responsibility in compliance with ethical, social, legal, and regulatory requirements of Medical Laboratory Technology professionals.
  • Utilize appropriate methods for the basic operation and troubleshooting of laboratory instrumentation and information systems.
  • Recognize the importance of continuously integrating new technologies and procedures into clinical practice.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to maintain competency and promote development through participation in professional activities.

The Medical Laboratory Science degree program was credit rated according to the common credit scheme agreed at a workshop conducted by HUCOM in Aug 2013. The curriculum design has followed the backward approach by defining the final learning outcomes as the first step. It is mainly outcome-based, and it will be the assessment blueprint. The curriculum addresses all 3 domains of learning: cognitive, attitudes, and skills, to achieve the final learning outcomes. It is divided into three phases: basic sciences, medical sciences, and clinical laboratory practices. Medical Laboratory Practice is a unit that integrates the basic sciences during the first year. It introduces the students to the concepts of medical laboratory science from the outset. It will increase the motivation and satisfaction of the students as it shows the relevance of the course to ultimate practice. During the Years 2 & 3, students learn the different disciplines of Medical Laboratory Science; hematology, microbiology, etc., with practical experience. They will gain a sound theory and practical knowledge. The unit Laboratory Management integrates most of the different disciplines of Medical Laboratory Science to give a comprehensive knowledge of the laboratory managerial aspects and prepare the students for the Work Placement. The work experience of one year in a medical laboratory will give them the opportunity to enhance their theoretical knowledge and acquire competence in carrying out tests and managing a medical laboratory.
