Tutorials in Clinical Chemistry is designed for trainee pathology residents, clinical chemists, medical students, and clinical laboratory scientists, and for those preparing for board and postgraduate examinations. It is helpful to those in training as well as a teaching aid for mentors and directors. Residents in pathology are often given textbooks and left alone to learn the lessons needed to pass board certification exams. This book provides self-guidance as to what is important. This must-have, practical resource should be used for learning exercises and review.
