Program Description:
The Department of Hospital Laboratories offers
a one- or two-year fellowship in clinical chemistry. Intensive
training in both the analytical and clinical aspects of clinical
chemistry is provided in a modern laboratory consisting of six
areas: general and automated chemistry, blood gas/critical care,
pediatric metabolic screening, special chemistry and immunochemistry,
endocrinology, and toxicology/therapeutic drug monitoring. The
fellow will participate in the daily operation of the laboratory
and experience the challenges of laboratory management in a large
teaching hospital setting. The fellow also will participate in
the teaching responsibilities of the clinical chemistry division,
which include the education of medical students, medical technology
students, residents, and graduate students. Participation in the
research and development activities of the laboratory is also
strongly encouraged.
