"This is a great set of questions to test one's fund of basic clinical laboratory science knowledge. A word of caution - medicine does evolve and some of the answers may no longer be current. There are also occasional errors. If a reader doesn't think an answer is correct, they should research it and let the authors know the correct answer for the next edition." --Doody

Self-assessment Q&A in Clinical Laboratory Science, III, adds a variety of subject matter that addresses new concepts and emerging technology, particularly in the areas of kidney biomarkers, cancer biomarkers, molecular diagnostics, multiple myeloma, pharmacogenomics, novel cardiovascular biomarkers and biomarkers of neurologic diseases. The field of Clinical Laboratory Science continues to evolve and editor Alan Wu has once again brought together experts in the field to cover the contemporary topics that are being tested today. This updated bank of questions and answers is a must-have to sharpen knowledge and skills.
