Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) is one of the flag bearers of health science education and research in Pakistan. Manifested from the mission of the University, DUHS is continuously upgrading its research themes for MPhil in the progressively evolving field of Medical Technology.

 

Medical Technology encompasses a broad allied health discipline and incorporates study of advancing technologies in healthcare i.e. devices to the healthcare systems for diagnosis, patient care, treatment, and improvement of a person’s health. Medical Technology is a vital part of the entire Health Care System. This professional field comprises the challenges and rewards of medicine and surgery and deals with the technical aspect of the same.

 

The program course work is carefully sculpted to equip the MPhil students to develop sound understanding of the basic to advance concepts of wide range of disciplines most notably, artificial intelligence and health informatics, applied physics, blood banking, neuro-ophthalmology, neurodiagnostics, cytogenetics, principles of robotic surgery, advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and bioethics and biosafety.

 

The research themes of MPhil in Medical Technology at DUHS are mostly focused on innovations leading to the technological solutions of modern day local and international healthcare problems particularly point-of-care testing, automations, robotic technologies, minimally invasive surgical and medical technologies, and diagnostic accuracy. In addition, an intrinsic mechanism has been set out to ensure smooth and timely completion of MPhil in Medical Technology at DUHS.
