A B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) leads to a wide range of careers in health care and diagnostics. These graduates can work as laboratory technicians, analyzing samples of blood, urine, and tissues to inform patient diagnosis. Others may become medical laboratory scientists, for instance performing complicated tests with the assistance of advanced technology to interpret results for doctors. This position is available in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and healthcare clinics.
Graduates in B.Sc. MLT can apply to jobs in clinical research as a clinical research associate. They are responsible for planning or coordinating any clinical study related to the development of medical treatments or drugs. Graduates can also seek employment opportunities in public health, forensic science or teaching of MLT programs. Further specialization or post-graduate study will take MLT graduates into research labs, biotechnology firms, or regulatory agencies overseeing laboratory practices and standards in developing healthcare solutions.
