Part 1
Start with step 1- 1
Foundations
Build reliable bench habits: check specimens, calculate dilutions and test performance, review controls, work safely, and report and correct results.
- 2
Hematology and hemostasis
Calculate and check blood counts, read the blood film, and interpret anemia, leukocyte, platelet, and coagulation findings before reporting.
- 3
Instruments and methods
Check bench equipment, link each measurement principle to its signal and interferences, and use the controls, competency, and cost records behind a reliable result.
- 4
Chemistry
Interpret chemistry patterns, check calculations, and judge specimen and method effects before reporting.
- 5
Urinalysis and body fluids
Bring specimen handling, urine chemistry, microscopy, and body-fluid findings into one interpretation.
- 6
Immunology
Read antibody, antigen, and cell-based results for infection, autoimmunity, allergy, immune deficiency, and transplantation through the method that produced them.
- 7
Blood banking
Follow blood from donor to patient: component checks, blood groups, antibody and compatibility testing, and hemolysis and reaction workups.
- 8
Microbiology
Follow a specimen from collection through organism detection, identification, susceptibility testing, reporting, and referral.
- 9
Putting it together
Combine the earlier parts through mixed review, connected workups, and a full mock exam, and compare examination reference values with clinical intervals.
