Purpose and content of the course
| Course Objectives: | The aim is to enable students to apply clinical biochemistry tests, carry out quality control practices, obtain appropriate samples for tests, understand how physiological processes and preanalytical factors affect the tests, learn the relationship of tests with body systems and how they are affected by diseases. |
| Course Objective: | To learn basic clinical analyses, to learn and apply basic urine and blood tests, to teach students to learn and apply kidney function tests, liver function tests, carbohydrate, lipid and hormone tests. |
| Mode of Delivery: | Face to face |
