Medical Laboratory Techniques Program

Hello everyone, my name is Liva Yaren Kara. I am a 1st-year student of the Medical Laboratory Techniques Program at Anadolu University Yunus Emre Vocational School of Health Services. The Medical Laboratory Techniques Program aims to train laboratory technicians who can perform the analysis required by physicians in health institutions. Students can complete their undergraduate programs by obtaining sufficient points with the vertical transfer exam. In the Medical Laboratory Techniques Program, courses such as Basic Biochemistry, Laboratory Practices, and Laboratory Safety are given. At the same time, there are applied courses that we take in the laboratory. We have a laboratory equipped with the latest technology to conduct our applied courses offered by our faculty. To graduate from our program, it is necessary to have a grade point average of at least 2 out of 4. At the same time, we have a 30-day internship obligation that we can do both in the summer and within the semester. Students who graduate from our program can work in institutions such as health institutions, private clinics, analysis laboratories, research centers. I chose this program because I was a graduate of the Health Professions High School and because I like helping people and doing research. Anadolu University has an excellent academic staff. I chose Anadolu University because the Vocational School of Health Services offers a wide range of opportunities to our students compared to the vocational schools of other universities. I was able to communicate with my professors very easily during the education process of the Medical Laboratory Techniques Program. At the same time, our instructors helped us a lot, both theoretically and practically. Another thing that has helped me in the learning process is the library of our school. I can get all the information I need from our school’s library and the laboratory in our faculty. After graduating from our program, I want to work as a laboratory technician in a health institution. I aim to make a good career in laboratory techniques. My main advice to students who will choose our university and our program will be to use the physical opportunities offered by our school to the fullest. In addition, there are many social activities that our school holds for us. If you want to improve your skills, you can participate in these social activities. Good luck to all those who will be taking the exam. We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely campus at Anadolu University.
