ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Medical Laboratory Technology which is also called Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is an allied health profession and is an important subject in the field of Medicine. In each system of Medicine, diagnosis of disease is primary step because no treatment is possible without a proper diagnosis. It is the Medical Laboratory Technical staffs, who perform this important task by various scientific tools and techniques. In modern world of Technology the Diagnosis, Treatment & Prognosis of various Diseases depends on results of the investigations carried out in a Clinical Laboratory. Thus Medical Laboratory Technical staff plays a key role in the field of Health care.
As per demand the numbers of skilled laboratory professionals are few thereby increase the scope of new intellect professionals.
The department of (MLT), IGTAMSU have full-fledged separate laboratories i.e. Pathology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Anatomy & Physiology which is well – equipped and performing many basics and advance techniques to the students.
The career prospects in this field depend on the academic and technical skills of the technologist/technician. These days with the growth in the private and public sectors there are so many hospitals, nursing homes, blood banks, pathology laboratories etc. the demand for laboratory technicians is on the up-swing. With adequate knowledge and experience, Medical Laboratory Technologists can advance to supervisory or management positions in laboratories and hospitals. They can also work as:
