The Laboratory Medicine program covers all the sciences related to diagnostic and research analyses which assist in diagnosing and discovering the causes of diseases. It also contributes in developing the quality of diagnostic methods for most of disorders and how to treat them.

The program consists of five academic years (including the year of internship). The first year focuses on developing English language skills as well as developing the knowledge of students in general medical subjects such as human biology, medical physics and health education. The second’s year develops cognitive and practical skills through basic medical science courses such as medical ethics, medical terminology and anatomy and physiology. Students in advanced years are provided with advanced knowledge, science, practical and clinical application through specialized courses such as clinical chemistry, hematology, and microbiology.

• The Medical Laboratory Sciences department aims to educate and equip students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for becoming a professional medical laboratory scientist. Having completed the degree program, students should have acquired the following knowledge and skills:

• Be proficient in performing the full range of clinical laboratory tests in areas such as haematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, molecular, and other emerging diagnostics.

• Be able to participate in the development and evaluation of test systems and interpretive algorithms, hold diverse responsibilities in areas of analysis and clinical decision-making, regulatory compliance with applicable regulations, education, and quality assurance/performance improvement wherever laboratory testing is researched, developed or performed.

• Possess basic knowledge, skills, and relevant experiences in consultative interactions with members of the healthcare team, external relations, customer service and patient education; financial, operations, marketing, and human resource management; information management, and; research design/practice sufficient to evaluate published studies as an informed consumer.

• Be proficient in maintaining necessary operations for the general functions of the clinical laboratory, including specimen collection.
