About the BMLT Program
The Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) is a 4.5-year undergraduate program that trains students in diagnostic laboratory procedures and techniques. This comprehensive course covers various aspects of pathology, microbiology, biochemistry, and hematology, preparing students for careers in clinical laboratories, research institutions, and healthcare facilities.
Program Objectives
Upon successful completion of the BMLT program, graduates will be able to:
- Perform routine and specialized laboratory tests with accuracy and precision.
- Operate and maintain sophisticated laboratory equipment.
- Analyze and interpret laboratory results for clinical diagnosis.
- Follow quality control and safety procedures in the laboratory.
- Assist physicians in disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Specializations & Focus Areas
The BMLT program covers various disciplines of laboratory medicine:
Clinical Pathology
Focuses on routine laboratory tests including urine analysis, stool examination, and body fluid analysis.
Hematology
Deals with blood-related tests, blood cell morphology, and coagulation studies.
Microbiology
Specializes in identification of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites causing infections.
Biochemistry
Concentrates on chemical analysis of blood and other body fluids to assess organ function.
Practical Training
A significant component of the BMLT program is hands-on training in well-equipped laboratories. Students gain practical experience in various diagnostic techniques and procedures, preparing them for real-world laboratory settings.
