5 Common Issues That Students Face While Pursuing MLT Course

Compassion, communication skills, quick thinking and physical fitness are a few qualities you will have to constantly work on to become an MLT. A big part of communicating is developing your listening skills to understand what is required of you. Many institutes do not focus on this aspect, due to which even though the students are well versed in the technical skills, they may lack the required soft skills to crack interviews.

Virohan emphasizes the development of language abilities and life skills in the students along with core technical skills, through blended learning supplemented with various activities.

In a professional course the independence and ownership that students get can at times be overwhelming. The cramming in undergraduate levels has to be replaced with understanding and self-thinking.

At Virohan we help you sustain the sudden jump from cramming mindlessly to creatively gaining skills. Through various types of activities, we ensure better retention and active involvement of the students. Further, Virohan provides subject matter experts for 24*7 doubt resolution.

Many students understand the technical concepts in theory, but are unable to apply that knowledge. The internship training period is an important period needed to consolidate the practical experience and theoretical knowledge of new learners. Students who would like to pursue a profession in laboratory technology need to understand their critical role as medical laboratory professionals in the health care system.

They must realize that they will be required to perform their duties in the clinical laboratories and interact with other health care professionals. They must be competent, knowledgeable and reliable.

Along with theoretical knowledge, Virohan provides internships with renowned healthcare facilities to make the students job-ready with the skill-set to handle real-life professional situations. Virohan partners with GE Healthcare, Indian Medical Association and 650+ hospitals to identify the specific training needs for paramedics and ensure the content is industry-relevant. All of Virohan’s offline courses include internships at healthcare facilities for hands-on practice of the skills acquired beyond technical know-how.

Many students are unable to carry on with their full-time courses as they may be facing family pressure to start working and earning. Students who are also working to sustain their families can enrol in an online program in medical laboratory technology, CMLT, and while earning can learn too.

At Virohan specialization courses in MLT of different durations are available for already working professionals.

The students also face financial issues like having to fund their own education instead of using their family savings. Many of them also drop out of the course due to financial issues.

Issues like these have been ameliorated to some extent at Virohan. We strive to provide an empowering career path to low-income youth by helping them enhance their profiles by necessary skill-building along with providing sufficient placement support within the network. Virohan also has tie-ups with financing institutions to offer no-cost EMI options to the students to increase the accessibility and affordability of various programs.

Various sectors of healthcare require well trained and aware Medical laboratory technicians.

Overcoming all these hurdles is bound to open the doors to exciting and numerous job opportunities for you.
