PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOS):
The Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) broadly describe the knowledge, skills and behaviors the students acquire in their program of study that are intended to foster the achievement of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs).
By the end of the BSMLT program, the graduates will have the following attributes:
- Knowledge. Demonstrate an understanding of the underlying scientific principles of laboratory testing, including technical, procedural, and problem-solving aspects.
- Perform proficiently the full range of clinical laboratory tests in areas such as hematology, clinical chemistry, immunohematology, microbiology, serology/ immunology, coagulation, and molecular and other emerging diagnostics and participate in the evaluation of new techniques and procedures in the laboratory.
- Solving and Analytical Decision Making. Evaluate and solve problems related to collection and processing of biological specimens for analysis and differentiate and resolve technical, instrument, and physiologic causes of problems or unexpected test results.
- Training Responsibilities. Incorporate principles of educational methodologies in the instruction of laboratory personnel, other health care professionals, and consumers.
- Problem Solving. Identify problems, explore and prioritize potential problem-solving strategies; and design and implement a viable solution.
- Management Skills. Demonstrate management skills and apply medical lab technology principles to one’s own work, as a member and/or leader in a team, to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Communication Skill. An ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing, with a range of audience.
- Individual and Teamwork. An ability to function effectively as an individual as well as a team member to accomplish a task.
- Ethics. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of medical lab technology.
- Lifelong Learning. Recognize importance of, and pursue, lifelong learning and further the body of knowledge in the broader context of development of the profession.

Medical Laboratory Technology is a branch of medical science responsible for performing lab investigations relating to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. Due to an ever increasing demand of qualified medical lab technologist, the university offers a 4-year (8 semester) full time BS degree program in Medical Lab Technology (BSMLT). The program acquaints the students with the latest development in the field of medical lab technology and its related academic and applied aspects. It focuses on equipping students with knowledge and skills required to become a professional and competent medical lab technologist. The curriculum has been designed to train students in scientific rigor, technical know-how and reasoning skills. We believe in nurturing a multidisciplinary environment for students by offering a combination of social sciences and humanities education to broaden their scope of knowledge. Courses in logic and philosophy have been integrated to instill critical, interpretive, and behavioral skills in our students. The students are provided with the opportunities to work in hospitals and different laboratories to enhance their practical skills in advanced techniques and latest medical lab equipment. The faculty members of MLT are certified medical laboratory technologists with advanced degrees, varied clinical experiences and a diverse academic portfolio.
