Clinical Pathology
Textbook Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Clinical Pathology is the study of disease processes through the examination and analysis of bodily fluids, tissues, and cells. This course focuses on the laboratory techniques used to diagnose and monitor diseases, covering topics such as hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, and molecular diagnostics. Students learn how to interpret laboratory results, understand the pathological basis of various diseases, and apply this knowledge to inform patient care and treatment decisions. Emphasis is placed on quality control, safety protocols, and the integration of clinical and laboratory findings to provide a comprehensive understanding of human health and disease management.
