Intensive insight into laboratory medicine

This offers an excellent opportunity to gain a good insight into the broad and interesting spectrum of activities of laboratory physicians: At numerous universities and colleges, a tertial of the practical year can be completed in the field of laboratory medicine. Students are taught knowledge regarding indication, implementation, interpretation, and quality assurance of laboratory medical examinations. Students thus have the opportunity to learn that the activity of the laboratory physician goes far beyond the creation of basic clinical-chemical findings.
