laboratory examinations shall be given emphasis to permit
students to perform routine and special laboratory procedures.
In this course, fundamental concepts of anatomy and
physiology, and chemistry are applied to aide in the medical
diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various disorders or
diseases manifested in the analyses of the said body fluid.
Automated and enzymatic procedures and techniques are also
discussed to familiarize the students with modern knowledge
as well as quality assurance procedures and instrumentation.
