Program Overview
Laboratory Science is a health care profession that relates with the medical laboratory tests of blood, urine, stool, and other body fluids to analyze and diagnose diseases. The program aims to impart training in both conventional and modern technology in the field of Medical Laboratory Sciences. So that the candidates will be fully competent to practice, teach and do research in the broader disciplines of Medical Laboratory Sciences.
This proposed program is interdisciplinary where other diagnostic areas including Biochemistry, Hematology, Blood bank, Microbiology, Molecular biology, Research Methodology, and Statistics, work hand in hand, in providing diagnostic services as well research in health care.
In Pakistan, there is a shortage of trained Medical Laboratory professionals and for international licensing in addition to four-year degree programs an additional fifth year with supervised Medical Laboratory training is mandatory. This five-year program will enable the graduate to sit for licensure examination directly without having an additional year of Medical Laboratory internship abroad. The program aims to provide professionals equipped with medical Laboratory skills to help physicians in the process of diagnosis. This will also help to reduce the shortage of skilled professionals.
This program aims to Produce competent and skilled graduates in Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences for delivery of effective services to benefit the society. Doctor of Medical Laboratory Sciences/Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences is designed to provide the necessary knowledge, skills, ethics, analytical and leadership abilities, critical thinking, and ethical values to the graduates to cope with Lab sciences related issues and challenges.
After completion of this program the graduates will be able to:
- Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the basic and lab Sciences, both understand correlate and apply in their fundamental context and in their application to the discipline of Laboratory Sciences, understands correlate and apply theoretical foundations of knowledge to the practice of Laboratory Sciences; evaluate and clarifies evolving theories relevant to Laboratory Sciences.
- Demonstrate the behaviors of the scholarly medical practitioner.

Teaching
Teaching Methodology
1. General Principles
Acquirement of practical and theoretical competencies is the keystone of graduate diet and nutrition education programs.
Learning in graduate programs is essentially self-directed and primarily radiates from practical and research-based knowledge and academic work. The formal sessions of teaching are merely meant to complement this core effort.
2. Teaching Sessions
In addition to conducting and reporting routine and special investigation in the area of posting under direct supervision, formal teaching sessions are held on working days. These include seminars, presentations, group discussions, quiz-based activities, practical, research work, lab-based work, visits of food industries and hospitals, interdepartmental meetings.
3. Teaching Schedule
The suggested departmental teaching schedule is as follows:
Delivering lecture: Daily
Presentation and Quiz based activities: Twice a month
Research work/ Practical’s Once a week
Interdepartmental meeting: Once in a month
Guest lectures: From time to time
Library based assignments from time to time
Note:
All sessions will be coordinated by the faculty members.
All the teaching sessions are to be assessed by the consultants at the end of the session and graded.
Attendance of the students should be at least 75% in the semesters.
The quality assurance department will monitor the program components as per the scheme of the study.
Assessment
All the graduate students will be assessed daily for their academic activities and also periodically.
1. General Principles
The assessment is valid, objective and reliable
Formative, continuing, and summative (final) assessment is conducted in theory as well as practical. In addition, research work is assessed separately.
2. Formative Assessment
The formative assessment is continuous as well as end-of-term. The former is based on the theoretical and practical work concerned. End of term (semester exam) assessment is held at the end of each semester (up to the 10th semester).
Formative assessment will provide feedback to the students as well as to the faculty members to solve any academic problems/issues for further improvement.
3. Internal Assessment
The performance of the graduate students during the study period should be monitored throughout the course and duly recorded student performance data at the end of mid and final term exams of each semester, as evidence of the ability and daily work of the student. Marks should be allotted out of 100 according to the following activities.
4. Summative Assessment
The division of the marks will be according to the subject and include theory and practical performance. The pass percentage will be 50%. The students will have to pass the theory and practical examinations separately.
