About
Medical Laboratory Technologist (MLT) is among the professions categorized under the allied health science (AHS) group. Despite its vital role, it often remains unfamiliar to the general public due to much of its work being conducted behind the scenes, unlike more visible professions like Nurses and Medical Assistants. However, MLTs serve as the backbone of medical laboratory services, engaging in tasks from pre-clinical to post-clinical stages. They play a crucial role in diagnosing diseases and contributing to treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention through clinical laboratory tests.
MLTs primarily conduct diagnostic tests in hospital and health clinic laboratories, generating results to aid doctors in disease diagnosis. These tests encompass a wide range of specimens including blood, urine, body fluids, feces, and tissue samples, depending on the nature of the test required. MLTs ensure the suitability of patient specimens for testing and strive to deliver accurate results promptly to enable effective treatment by medical professionals.
The program incorporates a 28-week Medical Laboratory Placement in Year 3 to provide hands-on experience and practical training.
