Advanced analysis of endocrine, cardiac, and toxicological markers in clinical specimens.
About this course
MRAD 3100 Clinical Chemistry II builds on the foundational techniques you learned in Clinical Chemistry I. In this course, you will focus on the advanced analysis of endocrine, cardiac, and toxicological markers in clinical specimens. You will explore the physiological basis of these markers, the analytical methods used to measure them, and the clinical significance of the results.
You will spend time in the laboratory applying these concepts to real-world samples, developing the skills needed to produce accurate and reliable results in a busy medical laboratory setting. The course emphasizes critical thinking and the ability to interpret complex data in the context of patient care.
