Laboratory medicine
Preparing competent and laboratory medicine professionals, equipped with modern diagnostic technology and research skills, to contribute to the development of local health society
Program Objectives:
- Providing high-quality education in which graduates will acquire knowledge, skills, and competences in Laboratory Medicine.
- Engage students with the use of modern laboratory methodologies and executing quality control protocols.
- Designing an educational model that adapts to development and complies with academic quality standard levels.
- Establishing a culture that prioritizes partnerships within the laboratory medicine and research fields.
Study System
The study system in the Medical Laboratory program is based on the semester system, where the academic year is divided into two main semesters. Each semester includes a specific number of courses and lessons that students must study and pass successfully to move on to the next semester. Students are evaluated through midterm and final exams, in addition to assignments, practical activities, and laboratory work.
Graduate Attributes:
1.Demonstrate understanding of basic Biomedical Sciences in Laboratory Medicine.
2. Apply knowledge of Biochemical, Hematological, Immunological, Microbiological, Parasitological and Blood Banking in laboratory investigation.
3. Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the relationship between laboratory data and pathologic processes, and how laboratory data are related to health and disease.
4. Use critical thinking and problems solving skills in laboratory diagnosis to make evidence-based decisions.
5. Communicate effectively and demonstrate professionalism in dealing with patients, their families and other health care workers.
6. Maintain confidentiality, adhere to moral and ethical standards of investigations and comply with the government regulations applied to Medical Laboratory.
