This course provides a hands-on clinical experience for students to actively engage in applying theory and practical knowledge through the performance of procedures studied in the previous didactic courses of hematology (MLS 410), immunohematology (MLS 420), microbiology (MLS 430), and chemistry (MLS 440). This course reinforces the ability to correlate clinical laboratory data with patient diagnosis and treatment. Utilizing a faculty-developed plan along with guidance of working laboratory preceptors, students continue developing clinical laboratory skills as well as expanding understanding of the profession and culture of a clinical laboratory.
