Overview

B.Sc. Medical Lab Technology is an undergraduate program from Jain (Deemed-to-be) University. Medical Laboratory Technology is a branch of medical science in performing clinical laboratory investigations which is the first step of diagnosis of any diseases followed with treatment and prevention. The course covers preclinical subjects such as Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology, Blood Banking and Basics in laboratory equipment. The programme provides knowledge and training for opted candidates to place in different clinical laboratories. Students enrolled are imparted training in laboratory management ethics through practical sessions, internal assessment, viva-voce and an internship training program/clinical postings in every semester. These professionals play an important role in collecting, sampling, analyzing, reporting and documenting of clinical investigations.
