This student's manual for the medical laboratory student is one of a series of self-contained, individualized instructional materials for students enrolled in training within the allied health field. It is intended to provide study materials and learning activities that are general enough for all medical laboratory students to use to enhance their understanding and performance at the training station. The material should be used under coordinator or instructor supervision. Seven units cover these topics: care of supplies and work area, collection and transportation of specimens, urinalysis, hematology, serology, bacteriology, and chemistry. Each unit follows this format: objectives, a list of new terms and definitions, and information to aid the learner in mastering the objectives. (YLB)
