Programme Overview
Medical Laboratory Sciences is a field of applied biology and chemistry that focuses on conducting analytical tests on blood, tissue, and body fluids to provide laboratory information for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The f ield of Medical Laboratory Science also involve performing chemical, haematological, immunologic, microscopic and bacteriological diagnostic analyses on body fluids such as urine, blood, sputum, stool, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), peritoneal f luid, pericardial fluid, and synovial f luid as well as other specimens. In this highly skilled profession, Medical Laboratory Scientists use microscopes, cell counters, and other sophisticated laboratory equipment to perform tests. After testing and examining a specimen, the results are analysed and relayed to physicians. Medical Laboratory Scientists work in hospitals, clinics, research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, forensic science laboratories and environmental laboratories.
