PATHO853 - Laboratory Medicine

This comprehensive elective exposes students to all aspects of laboratory medicine including chemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, transfusion medicine and molecular diagnostics. The students will participate in laboratory rotations, laboratory rounds, conferences and small group sessions with attending faculty, residents, fellows, and clinical laboratory staff. The overall objectives of the rotation are for the student to gain an appreciation of the role of laboratory measurements in the diagnosis and management of patients and to understand the preanalytical, analytical and post-analytic factors that influence laboratory results.
