Program Overview

The MBS-HAT Track is a new track under the MBS program and its aim is to introduce basic science concepts in thrombosis and hemostasis with research methods and presentation skills. This track will focus on principles of coagulation system, biochemistry, basic genetics, laboratory testing and drugs monitoring for bleeding and anticoagulation. It will also involve introduction to quality management systems and their applications in laboratory testing (collection, processing, testing and interpretation of different coagulation tests). In addition, the track aims to strengthen the principles of research as well as to improve the clinical practice. It will also include teaching of skills to write thesis in the field of thrombosis and hemostasis. It will be taught over two years and offered for individuals especially targeting Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS, MD) and Bachelors in biological sciences. The track is designed to provide graduates with advanced knowledge in field of thrombosis and hemostasis. Upon completion of this track, the student would be awarded a degree in Master of Biomedical Sciences in thrombosis and hemostasias Track from Alfaisal University.

Vision

This track aligns with the overall vision of the university and will aid in achieving the vision of the Alfaisal University to be a world-class non-profit research university and a pioneer in innovation and knowledge applications. This will further the mission of creating and disseminating knowledge by offering worldclass graduate programs, cutting-edge innovative research, and outreach activities that serve national development and benefit humanity.

Career Prospects
