Addresses a range of issues related to laboratory medicine and interpretation of laboratory results. General topic areas include hematology, clinical chemistry and immunology, and urinalysis. The primary mode of instruction is student-driven smallgroup (untutored) exploration of case materials followed by faculty-moderated largegroup discussions. Selected lectures and laboratory sessions supplement and expand on issues generated by the case discussions. This course builds on concepts previously addressed in Foundation Courses III and IV and provides additional experiences in practical clinical pathology procedures and microscopy.
