WAEC and JAMB Subjects Combination for Medical Laboratory Science – In today’s article, our focus will be anchored on the subject combination for candidates who want to study soil science at the University.
The main concern for this article today is on the right subject combination for WAEC and JAMB, no doubt, but I will also provide you with other important information that will help you in your pursuit of admission.
These include admission requirements that candidates must have to be considered for admission, the skills and job/career opportunities that are open for candidates to apply for a job, after graduation.
To this end, if you are interested in this post, which I know you are, then read this article for details of this and more on this topic.
By the way, what does subject combination mean to you? That is where we will take off this post, by trying to answer the question.
What is the subject combination?
The subject combination may mean different things to different people, all depending on the context that they are being looked at, however, in the context of medical and laboratory science, which is our major focus today, I will define it as the right selection of subject that will best suit the course that a student wants to study in the University of their choice.
Meanwhile, our discussion of subject combination will be tailored towards having the right JAMB and WASSCE/SSCE, which will be accepted by the Universities that students have chosen to study their desired courses.
The subject combination should indeed be the same for all Universities in Nigeria, but unfortunately, some schools accept certain subjects that others don’t, and this has made it difficult for all the universities to have a unified acceptable subject combination, in that case, students are advised to check the subjects that their institution accept, especially for JAMB UTME.
About Medical Laboratory Science as a Course
Medical Laboratory Science is a health profession that provides diagnostic services that help medical specialists discover diseases and how to treat them.
In another way, they are medical specialists who take samples of patients, conduct tests, bring out the test results, interpret and the effects of the test results. Examples of the test results carried out by the medical laboratories are Urinalysis, complete blood count, Lipid panel, and Prothrombin Time.
Some of the diagnostic services that they provide include:
- Critical chemical,
- Hematological,
- Immunologic,
- Microscopic,
- Bacteriological analyses on blood.
