Clinical Laboratory Techniques for Medical Diagnostics

This course targets the day to day competencies of clinical laboratories, covering hematology, clinical chemistry, and immunoassay work that supports patient diagnosis and treatment monitoring. It addresses pre analytical error, one of the most common and preventable causes of incorrect results in busy hospital and district laboratories. Practical sessions cover specimen collection, processing, and the interpretation of common reference ranges.
