B.Sc. CLS (Clinical Laboratory Science)
The B.Sc. CLS (Clinical Laboratory Science) program is A Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science (B.Sc. CLS) degree focuses on preparing students for careers in medical laboratories. These professionals, also known as Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) or Medical Technologists (MT), perform and interpret various laboratory tests to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases
Key areas of study within a B.Sc. CLS program include:
- Clinical Chemistry:
Analyzing body fluids to measure chemical components and detect abnormalities.
- Hematology:
Studying blood and blood-forming tissues to diagnose and monitor blood-related diseases.
- Microbiology:
Identifying disease-causing microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
- Immunology:
Examining the body’s immune system and its response to diseases.
- Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine:
Ensuring safe blood transfusions by matching blood types and screening for infectious diseases.
- Molecular Diagnostics:
- Urinalysis:
Analyzing urine samples to detect kidney and urinary tract issues.
- Laboratory Management and Quality Control:
Ensuring accuracy, reliability, and safety in laboratory testing procedures
