The Students Internship Program is a comprehensive training initiative designed to enhance the practical skills and knowledge of undergraduate students pursuing degrees in medical laboratory science or related fields. This program offers students the opportunity to observe hands-on in a clinical laboratory setting, complementing their classroom education and preparing them for future careers in medical laboratory technology.

• To provide undergraduate students with observational exposure to clinical laboratory techniques and procedures.
• To enhance students’ understanding of laboratory equipment and instrumentation.
• To reinforce the importance of quality control and safety practices in clinical laboratories.
• To introduce students to different laboratory departments, including haematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, anatomic pathology, blood bank, and molecular diagnostics.
• To develop critical thinking, communication, and professional awareness within a healthcare laboratory environment.

Clinical Laboratory Placement: Students will be placed in clinical laboratories within diagnostic cluster facilities such as Health point, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, ICLDC, Danat Hospital, and NRL-ICAD. 

Supervision: Students will observe laboratory operations under the supervision of experienced and certified medical laboratory professionals. 

Observational Experience: Students will observe laboratory testing, instrument operation, and result interpretation. 

Departmental Rotations: Students may rotate through different laboratory departments to gain broader exposure.
