SIPAS is one of the Best MLT College in Dehradun providing B.Sc. MLT. Medical Laboratory Technology is an Allied Health specialty concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases through the use of clinical laboratory tests. Though the Medical Lab technologists spend less time with patients than doctors and nurses, medical laboratory professionals are just as dedicated to patient’s health. As vital members of the health care team, medical laboratory professionals play a critical role in collecting the information needed to give the best care to an ill or injured patient. The fact is that the practice of modern medicine would be impossible without the tests performed in the laboratory.
Medical laboratory professionals have unlimited choices of practice settings. Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, public health facilities, and commercial laboratories all have positions open right now for qualified laboratory professionals. In these settings, communication and research skills are highly valued. Employment of clinical laboratory workers is expected to grow as the volume of laboratory tests increases with population growth and the development of new types of tests.
Medical laboratory technology, also called Clinical laboratory science, is an allied health profession which is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease through the use of clinical laboratory tests. Also it is required for prognosis of the disease. Medical Laboratory Technologists play an important role in collecting the needed information, sampling, testing, reporting and documentation of investigations. They determine the presence, extent or absence of disease and provide data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
Medical technologists work in five major areas of the laboratory, i.e., in Blood banking (Components), Clinical Chemistry Lab, Haematology, Immunology, Clinical Pathology and Microbiology. They also work in the areas of Cytology and Histology. Some of the duties of an MLT include collecting blood samples from patients and identifying abnormal blood cells, assuring safe transfusion of blood products, culturing micro- organisms to determine their identity and susceptibility to antibiotics, detecting a cancerous tumor with DNA technique, performing cultures and identifying bacteria and viruses and analyzing body fluids to determine chemical and biological components. The scope also covers assuming administrative functions related to reporting and recording results of tests conducted in the laboratory, maintaining accurate clinical records, selecting and evaluating laboratory equipment and new test methodologies and performing other duties as may be assigned by the laboratory supervisor.
Lab technicians have great careers in hospital pathology, laboratories, blood banks, forensic labs… both in the private & Govt. sector.
