Course Aims

Students will take essential clinical practice in approved facilities under the direction and supervision of laboratory educators. Students will demonstrate routine analytical procedures, develop adequate laboratory skills, apply learned knowledge, and have the opportunity to access acquired laboratory competencies. Also, students can apply the scientific concepts and principles to recent methodologies used in today's clinical laboratory relating laboratory results to clinical diagnosis. In this regards, the course will introduce some of the classical diagnostic techniques and provide therapeutic approaches to various human disorders. The most up-to-date methods used to aid in the detection of certain diseases will also be discussed.
