Customer Reviews

great book!

Very good book with a great intro to the profession.. It also has a good review section of anatomy and physiology

An Introduction to Clinical Laboratory Science

I've found this book a good resource for developing training in Laboratory Science for Biomedical Electronic Technicians. Most new Technicians have extensive electro-mechanical background. Unfortunately, they are usually weak in the Clinical Chemistry area when new to the field. This book gives them a good background in Clinical Laboratory Science that is not written "over their heads."

An Informative and Interesting book

An Introduction to Clinical Laboratory Science is an excellent choice for those who are interested in the patient side of Clinical Laboratory Science. The case studies are a very effective way of learning about patient diagnosis and treatment. Overall it is a great introductory book too clinical science
