About this Course:

The heart behind working in a lab reaches beyond science and knowledge. In order to serve those in the community the best, the students of the Diagnostic Lab Course (DLC) will learn tools to answer the question, “Why is this person sick?” The curriculum also includes foundational values from a Biblical worldview on science and discipleship. You will be studying and living in a beautiful paradise, alongside local Ni-Vanuatu students, preparing to take their training back to their home villages.

The DLC is divided into three modules: Parasitology, Haematology, and Microscopy. Each module contains lecture style sessions as well as hands-on learning in the laboratory at the Family Care Center (FCC).
