Level/year at which this course is offered: ( level 8/year 4) 4. Course general Description: By the end of this course, the medical laboratory students should be familiar with the routine work and able to use the equipment in the hospital laboratory in the field of clinical chemistry. Students have to improve their knowledge about the laboratory findings in organ functions and diseases and can monitor therapeutic drugs. The medical laboratory specialist can correctly and safely handle any biological fluid such as blood, urine, CSF, semen, and easily interpret the results of the parameters he/she tested in the laboratory. 5. Pre-requirements for this course (if any): Clinical biochemistry (2) CLS 368 6. Co-requisites for this course (if any): NA 7. Course Main Objective(s): 7. Apply the knowledge required during the theoretical part of medical laboratories in a hospital setting. 8. Practice the provision of medical laboratories techniques in the field of clinical chemistry. 9. Collect samples from patients in a correct container and separate serum or plasma. 10. Run the samples, standards, control materials, and calibrators correctly. 11. Relate the expected laboratory results associated with the disease. 12. Discuss the concept of renal and liver diseases and what laboratory tests may be performed to diagnose them. 13. Define therapeutic drug level and drug safety and efficacy. 14. Analyze and interpret experimental findings in Toxicology. 15. Acquiring the skills of achieving urine analysis. 16. Providing accurate information in an easy way to be used in the hospital. 2.
