During the visit, students learned about the operation of modern laboratory equipment, the steps involved in conducting laboratory tests, and the quality and safety standards adopted in medical laboratories. This contributed to developing their scientific and professional skills.

This visit is part of the department’s ongoing plan to support the educational process and prepare students for the job market by providing them with direct exposure to a real work environment.

We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Shiryan Hospital Laboratory administration for their cooperation and warm welcome, and we wish our dear students continued success.
