Overview
Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs), as members of the healthcare team, are professionals who perform laboratory analysis and provide information to physicians which helps doctors to diagnose and treat patients, as well as monitor and prevent disease.
Medical Laboratory Technologists perform a variety of sophisticated diagnostic procedures. They must have good motor skills, hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. In addition to technical skills, they are required to possess a strong attention to detail to detect subtle changes in the microscopic appearance of blood, tissue and microscopic organisms. MLTs must also ensure the validity of the results they obtain, which requires analytical and critical thinking skill. MLTs work in an ever-evolving environment, and on occasions need to adopt new procedures in line with the rapid pace of change in medical laboratory sciences as well as the changing disease patterns.

Synopsis |
| MLD 2113 | Clinical Chemistry 1 | This subject includes clinical chemistry knowledge in subjects that need to be understood by students who covers the role and procedures of clinical chemistry laboratory, the tests were conducted on specimens and correlation of test and type of abnormalities of organs or body systems. |
| MLD 2122 | Histology | This course will provide a working knowledge at the microscopic level of the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs of significance in the laboratory diagnosis of diseases. It will prepare the student for further study of pathology. Emphasis will be placed on the dynamic functional and structural relationships between and within tissues and organs and the ways in which the components protect the body and respond to normal and abnormal demands. |
| MLD 2132 | Histological Techniques | This module provides a basic understanding on theories, concept, and techniques in histological procedures which include specimen preparation, fixation, processing, cutting, staining, mounting and microscopic examination. This module will also focus on special staining techniques and other advance histological procedures including troubleshooting skills. |
