It is generally expected that at the end of the training, students would be familiar with current technological developments in medical diagnostics in the specialty of Medical Laboratory Sciences, and therefore, be in a position to coordinate laboratory services in their communities. Graduates are expected at the end of their studies to be involved in high quality and innovative biomedical research and therefore contribute to the improvement of currently available diagnostic methods or knowledge of the pathogenesis of a variety of disease states.
