Many people are confused by the terms Medical laboratory science/technology and Science laboratory technology .Both are different courses which has been interchangeably used by aspirants and some individual,To the students the two courses are good but it is better to learn now and make your choice earlier to avoid mistakes . Below are the major differences: FACULTY/SCHOOL Medical Laboratory Science is a Medical Science course studied in university or College of Health Sciences only. In the university, it is studied in the College of Medicine under the Faculty of Health Sciences. Medical Laboratory Assistant and Technicians are trained in the College of Health technology while Medical Laboratory Scientist are trained in the universities. NOTE : None of the Medical Laboratory Science professionals are trained in the Polytechnics as many Polytechnic graduates and students of Science Laboratory Technology claim to belong to the Medical Laboratory Science Profession as one can only mistake them to be the same if one does not belong to medical/ health profession or has not been admitted to study any of the course. Whereas, Science Laboratory Technology is studied in the faculty of Biological or Natural Science in the universities and under the school of science in the polytechnics, graduates of Science Laboratory Technology from the polytechnic are called Technician while their counter part from the universities are called Laboratory Technologist. (NOTE No medical here) COURSES OFFERED AND DURATION The courses offered by medical laboratory science students include Medical Biochemistry, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Haematology, Pharmacology,forensic analysis, Embalment techniques, Clinical pathology, Biostatistics, virology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology public Health and Epidemiology etc. The duration of study for medical laboratory Assistant and Technicians are 2 and 3years respectively, hence the duration of study for medical laboratory scientist is 5 years in the university leading to the award of Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (BMLS) degree plus 1 year internship programme and 1 year NYSC making a total of seven years (7) training.

A worthy write up. Many ignorant jambites and students have been misled into science lab tech in the guise of becoming med lab scientists on graduation. Look before you leap good people. God bless your endeavours. Science lab technology and medical lab science/technology / biomedical science ARE NOT THESAME NEITHER ARE THEY RELATED. Same goes to students of Biomedical Instrumentation. Don't be misled. Biomedical Instrumentation is a course in Medical Lab Science. Studying Biomedical Instrumentation in the university doesn't award you BMLS neither does it make you a Med lab scientist. |
