Course objectives
The laboratory course is designed to introduce the student to the principles and practices of clinical chemistry. Through laboratory experiences the student will develop the necessary skills to perform analytical procedures and evaluate laboratory data. The exercises familiarize the student with the performance of simple laboratory tests common in health care centers.Advanced part is focused to some special methods in laboratory diagnostics.

At the end of the course students should be able to:
understand basic principles of basic analytical parameters determination in blood serum and urine;
determine basic biochemical parameters in serum and urine;
interpret measured results in context of potential health/disease
