The Medical Laboratory Sciences Program at Al-Quds University has obtained academic accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), which is the internationally recognized body for evaluating and accrediting academic and scientific programs of universities in the field of medical analysis and laboratories in the United States of America.
Following this achievement, the first batch of the Medical Laboratory Sciences Program was accepted to sit for the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Board Examination in Medical Laboratory Sciences.
The President of the University, Prof. Imad Abu Kishk, congratulated this step, saying, ‘We express our great happiness with this distinguished achievement, which represents an international certificate of the quality of the Medical Laboratory Sciences Program at Al-Quds University. This achievement is the result of strenuous efforts by the faculty members and the university administration, and the constant keenness to d
evelop academic programs to meet the needs of the local and global labor market.’
Al-Quds University is the second university in the Middle East to obtain academic accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) in the United States, and Palestine is the third country in the world outside the United States of America to host a program that has obtained this prestigious accreditation.
This accreditation and acceptance comes within the intensive efforts made by Al-Quds University under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Imad Abu Kishk to ensure quality in all aspects of its work, and its firm commitment to providing high-quality higher education that is in line with the best international practices in the field of medical laboratory sciences and confirms the competence of faculty members and the advanced structure of the study program, which qualifies students to work in various medical fields related to analysis and laboratories.
The Medical Laboratory Sciences program
at Al-Quds University is comparable to similar programs in America, and is considered to be of the same scientific strength. Al-Quds University and the College of Health Professions are also a major source of globally qualified cadres in the field of Medical Laboratory Sciences, especially with its ability to accommodate the largest number of students, even compared to American universities.
It is noteworthy that obtaining the American Board in Medical Laboratories provides university graduates with a global career horizon that enables them to rise to the highest positions in the field of health and medical sciences, which opens the way for graduates of the program to obtain better and more competitive job opportunities in various medical fields related to analysis and laboratories, and the possibility of completing postgraduate studies at internationally recognized universities. The board exam is also a requirement for work in the field of medical laboratory sciences in many US states, and it is a vital ste
p for students who aspire to enter the field of medicine to pursue pre-medical education.
