RMIT's Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine (Honours) provides comprehensive training in human anatomy and physiology while enhancing your professional communication abilities. The program explores various health determinants affecting individuals and communities, with special attention to First Nations populations.
You'll acquire expertise in molecular diagnostics, learning biochemical and molecular biology techniques (DNA/RNA analysis) for clinical assessment of human diseases such as infections, genetic disorders, and malignancies. The curriculum also covers clinical immunology and pathology, teaching you to diagnose and treat conditions stemming from immunological or pathophysiological disturbances. Graduates will be eligible to work as medical scientists in diagnostic pathology, pursue medical research opportunities, or continue into PhD programs.
During your third and fourth years, you'll complete two semesters of supervised clinical placements, gaining practical experience and developing skills essential for diagnostic laboratory work.
