Medical Laboratory Technology also called as clinical laboratory science is a branch of medical science responsible for performing laboratory investigations relating to diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. As a part of the course, the students learn to perform the tests that help the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The course also equips candidates with the skills required to handle advanced equipment so as to perform accurate laboratory tests. The number of duties that a medical lab technologist performs makes the position highly demanding. The work of a medical laboratory technician requires creativity, problem-solving skills, innovation and much more
