Medical Laboratory Technology is the science that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases with clinical laboratory tests. This includes the analysis of body fluids.
Medical Laboratory Technologists perform analyses by preparing slides of human tissues and other specimens using lab equipment.
Blood tests and blood typing, too, are carried out by these professionals. Their job entails performing complex procedures and tests to help other healthcare professionals detect, diagnose and treat diseases in patients.
Students who study Medical Laboratory Technology learn about human physiology, human anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, clinical haematology, immunology, serology, and bio-medical waste management.
