Your training will be divided into two phases:
Phase I
Phase I consists of a nine-month introduction to laboratory systems
and the various laboratories providing services. Through one-on-one
interaction, lectures, case presentations and laboratory exercises,
you will learn the basic principles of analysis, the pathophysiology
of disease, and the application of clinical chemistry to diagnosis.
During this phase, you will rotate through laboratories in clinical
biochemistry, metabolic and hematologic biochemistry, clinical immunology,
cell kinetics and laboratory genetics. Your studies will focus on
details of testing, methodology and the clinical correlation of
laboratory tests. You also will be assigned to a project related
to the development and implementation of a new laboratory test.
Phase II
Your final 15 months will focus on an approved translational research
project. You also will assume increasing responsibility in the laboratories
where you perform projects. Laboratory and patient problems will be
referred to you to help you prepare for your ultimate role as a hospital
clinical laboratory director, assistant director or developmental
scientist/manager in a diagnostic-related company.
