B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes 1. Course Description

In this course, the students will learn about the theoretical knowledge and techniques (manual

and automated) used in diagnostic labs specially dealing with carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, non-protein nitrogenous compounds, blood gases and electrolytes

2. Course Main Objective Apply laboratory test performed in routine/ special clinical laboratories.

Explain biochemical principle of tests performed and recognize their clinical significance.

Perform appropriate laboratory techniques used in processing of specimens and

interpretation of data against the normal values on the test done in manual / automated settings.
