A program of training in chemical pathology for residents in pathology

We have developed a new program of instruction in chemical pathology for residents in pathology. The major features that differentiate this program from its predecessor are: first, an emphasis on principles rather than technical details of biochemical analysis; second, didactic instruction and practical experience in laboratory management and administration; and, third, instruction in interpretation and selection of laboratory tests. The organization, content, instructional approaches and learning objectives are described.
