There is a very large skill gap in India with respect to the requirement
and the availability of skilled Medical Laboratory Technologists and
Technicians. The Healthcare sector is largely dependent on the results
of laboratory tests used to support diagnosis in patient care as well as
medical research.
The test results therefore should be reliable, accurate and
reproducible. Generation of such 'quality' results involves a step wise
process of meticulous planning, perfect execution and thorough checking
of results. The Medical Laboratory Technology is an allied
health/paramedical profession and is a vital tool in the diagnosis and
study of the various diseases for proper treatment. In the rapidly
growing area of scientific knowledge and skills, laboratory science is
an imperative area of study leading to generation of skilled Medical
Laboratory Technologists.
Considering the immense requirement of
such trained professionals, the Department of Health and Life Sciences,
TeamLease Skills University is offering a 1 year (2 Semester) Diploma
Program, which aims at teaching and training candidates in Medical
Laboratory Technology not only to impart theoretical knowledge but also
to focus on the practical training of latest Medical Laboratory testing
methodologies and techniques.
The Program is designed with
specific inputs, requirements and recommendations from the industry,
based on the latest technologies available and in practice, for
individuals interested in entering the field of Clinical laboratory
science. The program will cover not only the basics of para-clinical
subjects such as Haematology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Microbiology,
Serology and Blood Banking, but also an intensive practical training
along with the basics of computer application relevant to the
requirement at the work place. The program will be offered to candidates
who have cleared their 10+2 examinations with Science subjects
regardless of the medium of instruction. Taking into account both
globalization as well as digitalization, as well as the nature of the
job at a Medical Laboratory involving generating reports, deciphering
information related to continual up gradation of sophisticated
instrumentation as well as interacting with both the patient and the
pathologist, the role Communication Skills as well as basic Computer
skills are a requirement of the job. The program is designed in such a
way aiming at not only teaching the basics of English but also grooming
and overall personality development of the candidate. The 1 year Diploma
will ensure that the candidate is Job-ready by undergoing a monitored
and evaluated 3 months On the Job Training as part of the Diploma
Program. All these features make this Diploma a unique and focused skill
development based program mutually advantageous for both the candidate
as well as the related Healthcare Skill Sector.
