Seminar of experiencing clinical laboratory testing

In the first of two sessions (or the first half of one session), instructors from different fields of clinical laboratory sciences will provide an overview of the significance of clinical laboratory testing, principles of testing methods, issues, and challenges for the future using PowerPoint slides or other teaching materials. In the second session of two sessions (or the second half of one session), students will gain hands-on experience of some with these testing methods through practical training. The final session will provide a summary review of the seminar.

This seminar includes lectures and training based on the instructors' practical experience as medical professionals in medical institutions.
