Bachelor of Medical laboratory

Vision

Leadership in education and training in the medical laboratory profession and excellence in scientific research, innovation and community services.

Mission

To graduate competent medical laboratory specialists primed to community service, research, and life-long learning through distinctive education and training.

Philosophy

The Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences is an important part of the college’s academic program at the undergraduate level. The department aims to improve the healthcare system in Saudi Arabia and contribute to the health of the people. Faculty members, students, and staff work together to influence the future of caring and health at community and national levels. The department also collaborates with other healthcare disciplines, nationally and internationally, to enhance the health and well-being of the population.

Program

The Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Program (MDLB) is a comprehensive five-year program that prepares students to become highly competent professionals in detecting, diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. The program is committed to providing high-quality education and training experiences that develop knowledgeable, skillful, and ethical leaders in the healthcare community. The curriculum covers various disciplines, including hematology, blood banking, microbiology, clinical chemistry, immunology, molecular diagnostics, and histopathology lab. Students receive extensive hands-on training in educational laboratories, clinical settings, and internships. Graduates of the MDLB program have a wide range of career opportunities in research and industrial laboratories, public health agencies, doctor’s offices, pharmaceutical companies, and other healthcare institutions.

Credit hours: 136 hours.

Years of study :
5 years (1 Year Foundation Year + 3 years Medical Laboratory program + 1 year internship).

2+X Global Health Program

2+X Global Health Program is incorporated in all MACHS five programs.

It is comprised of two years of unified courses in each program before students are introduced to their specialized courses.

The 2+X Global Health Program is attested by the World Education Services (WES), stating that the MACHS-taught component of the 2+X Global Health Program is equivalent of two full years of undergraduate study at a regionally accredited U.S. institution for the purposes of admission and transfer credit.

This allows students to transfer easily to other majors either within the college or internationally without the loss of credits.
