When people lack knowledge they speak anyhow.

There is a big difference between MLS and SLT.
MLS is a field that specialises more on just running SOP already developed in just o my the medical field. they are well licenced to practice in Nigeria. MLS is a small part of biomedical science.

SLT on the other hand is a field integrated in all science areas from agriculture to medicine to engineering and environmental.

Anywhere there is a lab SLT is there to lead it. they are scientist whose duties goes from not just following SOP but carrying out intensive research to improve all field of science and technology.


Medical doctors who are fully involved in research are also scientists same as biochemist,biologists, chemists and even engineers.

medical microbiology and biochemistry graduates can work in the hospital labs. infact MLS are not certified to do microbiology and biochemistry tests in the hospitals. it is not part of their curriculum. they are only proud now because BCH and MCB graduates and professors refuse to spend money to get an act to practice to the fullest. so MLS should know they cover a little scope of biomedical and should maintain that level.

I am a proud biomedical technologist, scientist and also an engineer. As a Biomedical scientist we are involved in DNA, forensics, finger printing to mention a few but MLS is mainly on haematology and few other areas such as parasitology and little mcb.

I am proud to be an SLT biomedical graduate.

Excelokoi:
what is even so very special about this medical lab or BMLS degree you are over hyping self? mtcheww am not here to trade words with anyone here cos it does not stop me from working here in Government hospital lab were am earning my salary from.

When you think you know, but you know nothing at all
Medical Lab Science =Biomedical Science= Clinical lab. science
They are all the same with nomenclature different from country to country.
MLS knows nothing about biochemistry and microbiology? Wow I'm in awe of your intelligence. If you don't know, ask questions. Asking questions is part of learning than drawing unfounded conclusions.
Like I've always told you before you jump unto a public discuss such as this get verified information so that when time comes like this you can defend it.

arinzos:

MLS only follows SOP and you guys carry out research��.So MLS in virology and other research Laboratory in Nigeria are doing what there .Apart from Nigeria and some countries in Africa tell me where your SLT is recognized.
Do you know in the UK,you can't say you are a Biomedical Scientist without been liscenced as such?.
Saying MedBCH and MedMCB is not in our curriculum shows you know absolutely nothing about MLS(get it and update yourself)
MLS is way beyond you guys in every aspect so stop the hating.because whether you like it or not,you are a technician/technologist to MLS.��

anthney87:

Having a med bch and med mcb doesn't make u a bch or mcb professional.

like we all did clinical sciences/ basic medical sciences and pharmacology doesn't makes us medical doctors. we all did same courses but our profession makes us different.

So doing same course does not warrant you to practice as a doctor so likewise doing med bch Nd mcb doesn't warrant you guys to take over their duties.

anthney87:

And what makes you fell we are not licenced here in Nigeria to practice?
Good to let you know that both profession were signed into law same day and time by Obasanjo?
For you information let me educate you. slt are scientists and technologists as well as technicians depending on your level of education. I should also let you know that MLS is in no way superior to slt as you claim because slt have a broader coverage area than you guys.

now let's get to action. while you term yourself as a scientist we slt are known as chartered scientists. If you want proof then bring your licence out here while I bring mine.
Also note that you as an MLS is only restricted to only the medical area and arm of science but an slt biomedical goes beyond only the medical. they explore in full more than your scope.

so I got no need arguing with a profession whose aim are to pull everyone down for their own selfish Interest. And mind your usage of words because if you are not mindful I will doubt your professionalism and how you were trained. thanks

anthney87:

Like I said and you know very well. it is a thing of joy for you to speak but it is known that you only cover a little area of bch and mcb. I don't mince words.

First off, sorry if i insulted you it wasn't intentional.

i will like to know SLT coverage.

Saying Medicals is restricted shows you don't really know what you are talking about.
MLS is NOT related to SLT from SCHOOL to WORKING PLACE.
i don't have any problem with SLT.
my problem lies when you guys say you can RUN a MEDICAL LABORATORY or work as a Medical Laboratory Scientist because you did a CRASH course in BASIC Medicals.that is an abomination in the face of the LAW.it is not in your licence and the Act establishing NISLT.
SLT are gods in Industrial Laboratories and other Laboratories but NOT Medical Laboratory because LIFE is INVOLVED.
SLT don't have any Medical Specialization(if you guys have please let me know).

Cont'd
Still removed many of the screenshots
Just get the mls curriculum and read through
We do the general of whatever course and dwell on the medical aspect which concerns us.
From basics to advanced
If I put up screenshots of mcb then I'd just fill this page up

arinzos:

Let me Educate you.MLS has five(5) specialization.
1.Haematology
2.Chemical Pathology/Clinical chemistry/Clinical Biochemical/Medical biochemistry
3.Medical Microbiology
4.Immunology
5.Histopathology
In these specialization,you will be GOUNDED in all of them before specializing.i am not talking about doing a CRASH COURSE for a semester then go on to do other things.i am talking about taking courses from each specialty.
From 2nd year down to Final year,We take Different Courses From These Department/section/unit.Then a BASIC PHARMACOLOGY just Enough to cover what we need to know as MLS.Then other crash courses.BCH and MCB know little to nothing about Medical Biochemistry/Microbiology.why? because they have other areas they have to cover.they DON'T go deep.
NB.MLS is not studying BCH or MCB but the MEDICAL Part of it From 2nd year to Final Year.With the PRACTICALS,POSTINGS,INTERNSHIP.
Life is involved you MUST be licensed.

You said something about the law. Now let me let you in into something given by the law. STI policy 2011.

just see the screenshot

these tells you about the health and medical part of medical SLT courses.

Note that SLT covers a very wide margin just beyond only medicals.

anthney87:

Now let me let you in to SLT medical/clinical departments.

Biomedical of which I am a graduate and
Physiology and pharmacology. these two areas are well grounded in medical areas.

if I should ask you. are those two up there not medically inclined? tell me a course you did that those two up there didn't do?


we then have the microbiology, biological sciences and biochemistry. which are pure sciences.

one thing most of you out there don't know is that SLT is runned now in the university and they are well grounded.

again another thing is that SLT has other departments which cuts across engineering, agriculture, environment etc. one who did SLT physics is not eligible and cannot work in the medical area because that is not his field and scope. so know this.

anthney87:

Look closely at the STI policy of 2011 by the federal and tell me what it say.

arinzos:

The Law that established the profession is what matters.Anyother policy is subject to the Law.
Morever,i didn't see anything that is contradictory to what i had said .
Oh was it bcx you saw Medical there

Well,when that time comes you will know if it is one policy that would help you or the Law that established your profession.

chely:
Why are we like this

So you think science laboratory technology will be created to function as medical laboratory science?


I know there's joblessness in the country
But I am wondering how someone will go to school for 4yrs and curriculum don't have clinical laboratory training but after school
The person wants to work in a clinical laboratory to test patient samples for disease when their training didn't involve testing human samples for medical diagnostic purposes

A profession has it names spelt out as science laboratory technology
And we all know what is science laboratory
And medical laboratory or Biomedical lab
Please remember a medical laboratory scientist is not just a tester, he is a medical practitioner who is a specialist in Biomedical Sciences with special license to work as a medical diagnostician

But a science lab tech is a professional who training is technically based to improve science laboratory research and processes

And please note
Medical science is not the same as the science you saw in science laboratory technology

It is physical science involving physics, chemistry and biology

Medical science means human science
Please you know how
You are trained, in a science department

A medical laboratory scientist is trained in medical school

Please let's stop this unnecessary issues
The samples you saw in health science don't means human samples
It's food, water etc
Not human samples

Only medical professionals are allowed to work with human samples


I am begging us
Let's develop our country
Stop quackery

Build our individual professions to represent it purpose not admiring another to let our gullibility encourage quackery

It's one of the reasons Nigeria is backward

Good day I just check the nislt site and download a documents of all the test that can be conducted in biological option of SLT, which our license covered. They include all the microbiology test in the hospital laboratory
MLS is way beyond you guys in every aspect so stop the hating.because whether you like it or not,you are a technician/technologist to MLS.��
