Description

The Department of Medical Laboratories is one of the oldest scientific departments in the College of Medical Technology. It was established in 1986 AD, and after thirty years of continuous giving, the departments of medical laboratories and pathology were merged into one department called the Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences. The department aims to qualify specialized graduates with distinguished competence and advanced scientific ability It enables them to be able to absorb and apply all modern technologies in the field of laboratory medical diagnosis.

Like the rest of the departments of the College of Medical Technology, the student joins the Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences upon passing the general stage, where they receive specialized, supportive and elective sciences within an integrated program that includes (33) (theoretical and practical) courses within a study program that is supervised and managed by a group of faculty members in the department.During their studies in the department, the student receives practical training in the college laboratories and in educational hospitals in order to acquire laboratory skills in the field of clinical chemistry, immunology, and blood banks. The student is also trained in conducting laboratory tests, microscopic examination, analysis of blood samples, and examination of body fluids and tissues.Upon passing the final exams for the eighth semester, the student goes through an internship period in one of the teaching hospitals, to obtain upon his graduation a Bachelor's degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences.
