Synopsis
This course builds on the knowledge of general pathology gained in the course BIO3109 Pathology 1.

The residential school component of this course will enable the student to practice and refine their skills in reporting and interpreting blood film morphology, haematology results and clinical biochemistry results and enhance their knowledge and practical understanding of quality control and quality assurance in the pathology laboratory. It will also provide a forum for discussions on ongoing professional development opportunities and an exploration of fatigue management skills and mindfulness in preparation for the real-life challenges of a medical laboratory scientist.
