Introduction

The course entails training of students in both theoretical and practical aspects of laboratory medicine. The student would be trained in all the various aspects of phlebotomy clinical chemistry, haematology, clinical pathology, microbiology, serology and blood banking. On completion of the course, the student would be able to perform as a laboratory technician in all branches of laboratory medicine.

Training is imparted in bio-chemistry, haematology and microbiology at the laboratory and blood bank facility in Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences. Students will have to take monthly internal assessment exams and annual university exams. Periodic tests are also conducted on completion of various chapters. Practical training is imparted in all branches of laboratory medicine by rotation.

• Students with an SSLC undergo a 3-year programme while those who have passed PUC undergo a 2-year programme

• Students who have not cleared their PUC exams will also undergo a 3-year training programme

Application forms are issued at the beginning of the academic year (May/June) each year and are available at Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences. Candidates will be screened and selected after an interview.

Note: Students who join the 3-year programme will undergo theory and practical classes in Physics, Chemistry Biology and English. All these subjects are at the standard of PUC or equivalent.
