๐ŸŒŸHands-on Learning Experience๐ŸŒŸ

Our 2nd-Year Biomedical Technology students successfully participated in a comprehensive two-day field practical program conducted by the Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Board on July 11 and July 18, 2026. โš›๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ
This practical training provided our students with invaluable hands-on exposure to advanced applications in the field, strengthening their technical foundation as future biomedical professionals.

Special Highlight: To make things even more exciting, our students had the fantastic privilege of participating in the national TV program "DHEERTHA," broadcast on the Sri Lanka Rupavahini (TV) Corporation!
