Biomedical laboratory science is the theory and technology for examining specimens obtained from patients, such as blood, urine, tissues, and various body fluids, using physical, chemical, physiological, and microbiological methods to obtain information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. It is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses all aspects of medical science.
The Department of Biomedical Laboratory Science seeks to train biomedical laboratory scientist with biomedical medical laboratory expertise and field practical skills based on the foundations of life sciences, and medical convergence talents with research capabilities and creativity in the field of biomedical sciences.
To this end, we plan to provide thorough theoretical education, experimental practice, and field training in connection with International St. Mary's Hospital, CKU, an affiliated hospital of the foundation, and cultivate a global mindset and language skills to develop students into talents recognized at home and abroad.
The Department of Biomedical laboratory science aims to cultivate experts who will play a leading role in related industries such as disease prevention, health and welfare promotion, and biotechnology (BT) based on the understanding of human life phenomena to respond to changes in society caused by the Industry 4.0, the entry into an aging era, the shift in medical paradigm, and the development of medical life science.
In particular, we aim to train Biomedical laboratory scientist (BLS) who are specialized in the field of medical services necessary to diagnose diseases, determine the course of treatment, and determine prognosis.
The Department of Biomedical Laboratory Science provides accurate diagnosis of various diseases and new testing methods based on understanding of human life phenomena in order to respond to the changed society caused by the 4th Industrial Revolution, entry into the aging era, shift in medical paradigm, and development of biomedical science.
The educational goal is to train professionals who will play a leading role in related industries such as disease prevention, health and welfare promotion, and biotechnology (BT) through customized education for each student.
In particular, we aim to train professional and field-tailored biomedical laboratory scientists in the medical service field necessary to determine the diagnosis, treatment progress, and prognosis of a disease.
After graduating from the Department of Biomedical laboratory science, you can work in a hospital's diagnostic laboratory medicine department, pathology department, functional laboratory (EKG, EEG, EMG, PFT, etc.), nuclear medicine department, or health examination center. You can also work in the National Forensic agency, Health Management Association, Health Center, and Korea Disease Control and Prevention agency And You can work as a researcher at the National Health Institute, a university hospital clinical research institute, or a National cancer center, and you can also work at a pharmaceutical company, genetic analysis company, or medical device company. you can get a job abroad or go to graduate school to work as a professor or work as a loss adjuster.
