The Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) typically has a duration of 2 years. This program is divided into four semesters, with both theoretical and practical components. During the two years, students are trained in various aspects of medical laboratory work, including clinical biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, pathology, and immunology, among other topics.
In addition to classroom learning, students often gain hands-on experience through internships or clinical training in hospitals, diagnostic labs, and healthcare settings. This practical exposure helps students develop the skills necessary to perform diagnostic tests and assist healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating medical conditions.
