Please can i known more about Immunology and medical microbiology
Damilola,
Immunology is a branch of medicine and biology that covers the medical study of immune systems in humans, animals, plants and sapient species.
In such we can see there is a difference of human immunology and comparative immunology in veterinary medicine and animal biosciences.
Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being unicellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology, immunology, and parasitology.
Hello I’m Ayodele by name I would love to known more about MLS course
Medical laboratory science is the use of clinical laboratory tests to detect, diagnose, monitor and treat disease. Blood, tissue and body fluids can be chemically analyzed and examined for foreign organisms and abnormalities.
It is because it is a medical course.
I have not commented on posts like this before, but this information deserves it.
pls as a OND HOLDER in SCIENCE LAB TECH, I wil love to study MLS. Should i rewrite jamb or should i do direct entry? I need ur advice
Hello Gracious
I am glad you find this post helpful.
Yes, you can apply to study Medical Laboratory Science as an OND holder in Science Laboratory Science via Direct Entry.
Sitting for the JAMB exam will be a plan B for you to increase your chances of admission.
Bro, this is so very helpful thank you for this.
I never leave comments on websites but this is so worth it and deserves appreciation.
One can even self study with course outline you just listed.
Thanks again brother.
The pleasure is ours Nnadubem. Thank you for leaving a comment behind.
nice and please how can I register to this school
Maryam abacha kano state
I WANT STUDY THE COURSES BUT IF I HAVD NOT REGISTERED IN JAMB THEN CAN I STUDY IT
You must choose Medical Laboratory as your first choice during your JAMB registration.
But, you can study Medical Laboratory Technology at your State College of Health Technology without JAMB.
Is a medical laboratory scientist well paid
Am a science lab tech, student in a polytechnic and I have passion for science and analysis,can you add me in any good Whatsapp group,where I can learn more(MLS),I will apply for direct entry but I want to be aquatinted with medical knowledge
How about WhatsApp group
