Faculty of Medical Laboratory Science_History of formation, development progres

The Faculty of Medical Laboratory Sciences has a long history of teaching skilled personnel in medical laboratory methods. National High School of Medical Technical II, formerly known as the Laboratory Department, was founded in 1976. It was one of three technical schools directly controlled by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health.

Our Department retained the same place in the school's organization during the following stages, when the school was renamed:

+ National High School of Medical Technical II, Ministry of Health, since 1997

+ Nation College of Medical Technical II, Ministry of Health, since 2006

 

In 2013, the Department was upgraded to the Faculty of Medical Laboratory Science of Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy (DN.UMTP) when the school received the Government's decision to upgrade in 2013. DN.UMTP is the solely public university affiliated with the Ministry of Health in the Central Coast region of Vietnam.

During the time of developing, our unit has trained thousands of medical laboratory technicians and participated in training medical personnel in other fields (medicine, pharmacy, nursing, public health staff) for the country.

Continuing the good tradition, the Faculty is currently responsible for teaching the field of Medical Laboratory Technology at undergraduate (BSc. Medical Laboratory Technology) and postgraduate levels (Post Graduation Diploma – Specialty level I - in Medical Laboratory Technology, and in the near future will be the Master's degree).
