Exercises in coagulation tests such as fibrinogen levels, fibrin split-products and factor assays are studied. Practice in qualitative and quantitative technique using modern laboratory instrumentation. Covered are the theory of operation, repair, recognizing problems, maintenance, and solving the problems of mechanization. The study of and identification of protozoa, helminths, annelids and arthropods which invade humans and manifest themselves as disease.
