B.Sc. Medical Lab Technology (Honours)

- B.Sc. Medical Lab Technology (Honours)

Medical Laboratory Technology, also called Clinical laboratory science, is an allied health/paramedical profession, which is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease through the use of clinical laboratory tests. Doctors rely on laboratory technologies to detect, diagnose and treat diseases. The programme covers the basics of preclinical subjects such as Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology and Blood Banking. Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLT) do these tests by analyzing body fluids, tissues, blood typing, microorganism screening, chemical analyses, cell counts of human body etc.

Medical Laboratory Technicians can attain employment in pathology labs, urology labs, blood banks, research labs, haematology, cytotechnology, immunology, microbiology, pharmaceuticals, and hospitals. . Some of the job roles offered to B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology graduates are mentioned below 

Medical Technologist: One of the primary jobs after a B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology career is to work as a medical technologist in clinical laboratories, hospitals, research institutions, or public health agencies. Institutes like Lal Pathlabs, Thyrocare labs, Metropolis health care, Apollo hospitals, Max Super speciality hospitals, Fortis hospitals employ lab technician.

Blood Bank Technician: Blood Bank Technician works with blood donors and patients in the Blood Bank. They are primarily in charge of collecting blood and other components, labelling and storing them according to protocols, and preparing them for transfusion. They also work at laboratories to test and analyse different samples, assess potential donors, and maintain extensive records. Examples like IMA blood bank, Dehradun, Rotary blood bank etc.. Medical Record Technician: Medical Record Technicians are responsible for maintaining medical records operations by following policies and procedures, initiating medical records by searching the master patient index, reporting needed changes, and ensuring medical record availability by routing records to emergency departments. Examples like, Apollo hospitals, Max super speciality hospital, Fortis hospital, Asian hospitals.

Laboratory Manager: The lab managers are responsible for conducting timely tests, and reviews reports for any abnormal reports/results. They are also involved in hiring and proper training of the new employees. Organisation like Lal Pathlabs, Thyrocare labs, Metropolis health care employ lab technician

Research Assistant: Graduates with a BSc in Medical Technology can pursue careers as research assistants in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or research organisations. Research assistants work on scientific investigations, conduct experiments, collect and analyse data, and contribute to the development of new medical technologies or treatments. Organisations like Ranbaxy, Torrent, Cipla, Dr Reddy labs and Veeda clinical research, Rubicon research, Novotech clinical research, Quest diagnostics employ lab technicians.

Sales and Technical Support: Medical technology companies often require professionals who can provide technical support and training to healthcare providers using their products. Organisations like Transasia, Roche Diagnostics, Johnson & Johnson, Tulip diagnostics, J.Mitra diagnostics, employ lab technicians.

Healthcare Consultant: Medical technologists can become healthcare consultants, offering expertise and guidance on laboratory practices, quality control, regulatory compliance, and technology implementation to healthcare organisations and private companies.
