Your choice of Medical Laboratory Science is a wise decision as the field of study is one of the best professional programs in this great institution and the world at large. The mission of the department is to provide sound academic and professional background for our graduates to be capable of working in any medical and industrial laboratory anywhere in the world. We are committed to producing Medical Laboratory Scientists that meets internationally recognizable standards with sufficient knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship, Medical diagnostic services, academics and Research.

 

 I am happy to inform you that you are privileged to be in the hands of well-trained lecturers, instructors and technical staff who combine intellectual ability, wealth of experience and commitment to impact knowledge and skills in you. With the dynamism and experience of these staff, you can be rest assured that your dream of becoming a globally recognized Medical Laboratory Scientist will be a reality. Therefore, if creativity, inspiration, adventure, motivation and integrity are the virtues you’ve been yawning for, then this department is meant for you.

 

You shall be exposed to some borrowed courses from other departments of the university, this in addition to several courses in our department will mold you with effective communication skills, creative thinking, good ethical practice, laboratory management, logistics and an unbiased interpersonal skills that cuts across gender, racial, cultural, ethnic and religious barriers.

 

Here in the department of Medical Laboratory Science UNIMED, there is an arrangement for students’ exchange program with students in some other universities of the world. The program is expected to afford our students the opportunity to interact with their foreign counterparts of different racial, cultural and geographical backgrounds. In addition, the program shall serve as foreign link for future research collaborations and avenues for international job opportunities.

 

On behalf of Medical Laboratory Science family, I welcome you onboard.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Temidayo D. Adeniyi (B.MLS (Hons), M.sc, Phd, FMLSCN.)

Acting Head of Department
