College and clinical education (internship) aredesigned to prepare each student to be a competent technologist.The next goal is certification or licensure. This book was writtento help the reader review the academic background so that thisgoal can be achieved successfully. This book is intended only as a review mechanism. It does notprovide detailed explanations. Students should consider the ques-tions contained herein, determine whether or not they understandthe concepts and facts presented, and from this return to their text-books and personal notes for further study as needed. The authors have not dealt with methodology but rather with theunderstanding of laboratory procedures and all their ramifications.The student should not memorize such details of procedures asamounts of reagents used but rather should concentrate on theirsequence in the procedure and the reason for their use. To help thestudent review, we have included outlines that may be used as studyguides. Also included is a listing of procedures that the studentshould have studied throughout the year of clinical work. Thislisting represents the type of procedures one would find availableto the physicians on the staff of a modern, average-sized, urbanhospital, short of the status of a research center. By referring tothe list of procedures and asking the questions contained in theappropriate outlines, the student should have an organized methodof review. The education of medica</p>
