Bachelors in Medical Laboratory Sciences (BMLS) is an undergraduate 4-year program designed to impart knowledge and skills needed to become a qualified medical laboratory technologist.
This branch of science which deals with all the clinical laboratory investigations on clinical samples for laboratory diagnosis of various diseases. Blood, tissue and body fluids are analyzed and examined for various types of foreign organisms and abnormalities. This information is then used by the medical team to make decisions regarding a patient's medical care. 85% of all medical decisions are based on the results of clinical laboratory investigation reports. It is the Medical Laboratory Technocrat, who performs this important task by various scientific tools and techniques. In today ‘s modern world of technology, the diagnosis, treatment & prognosis of various diseases depends upon the results of investigations carried out in a clinical laboratory. Thus, these professionals play a key role in the field of health care. As modern medicine becomes more of a team effort, the Medical Laboratory Scientist/Technologist is an important member and integral part of the Medical team.
