MLT Technologist (1 YEAR)

Affiliated by Gujarat Council of Vocational Training (Gujarat Government)

A medical technologist is a practical arm of a Pathologist. Medical technologists are the crews that run the ship for a pathologist. In this case, the ship is the laboratory. Clinical pathology is a hundred year old specialty and has progressed from long assays on human blood to feather touch technology using one’s fingertip to assay the results for sugars, Bilirubin, etc. without spilling a single drop of blood. We in India have kept pace with these technologies as they evolve and we at Kanoria Hospital feel the need to standardize medical technology education in view of these rapid developments.

Our course is based on a credit system of evaluation for our students thus making their evaluations easier in Foreign Universities.
