The learning protocol for this clinically-based web presentation of case studies is to facilitate learning and critical thinking in laboratory cases. Case studies are introduced by the course instructor and by students and clinical practica instructors. Discussion via the web allows for students across practica to share in their learning from different regional laboratory facilities.
Clinical instructors can interact with students and peer professionals via discussion groups.
Case studies allow for clinical laboratory scientists to be self-directed learners and accomplished problem solvers. Knowledge in the field of clinical laboratory science across the specialties will be utilized to stretch critical thinking and problem solving abilities. The challenges you provide to one another will enhance this course and provide you the opportunity to learn and develop skills in a manner that best prepares you to begin your career as a professionally competent and academically competitive individual. Your grade will be based on your ability to problem solve, active participation, and case contribution. Each week case studies will be provided by the course instructor or by students assigned for that week.
