MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE
Refers to the diagnostic or therapeutic application of science and technology to improve the management of health conditions; therefore, we can say that it combines the challenges of medicine, the basic sciences of biology and chemistry, it is an applied science as it employs scientific investigation to come up with a diagnostic finding and the clinical sciences into a very satisfying professional career.
