Clinical Experiences

The clinical urinalysis course at HCMC consists of one week of practical clinical experience supplemented with a workshop.

Students will be directly involved in the daily procedures in the urinalysis laboratory. Due to our large outpatient clinics and emergency room, you will see a large volume of clinically significant urinalysis results.

Pre-Clinical Requirements

Upon entering the clinical rotation, we ask that students come to us with specific pre-clinical competencies. These competencies will be the base on which we will build the knowledge needed to attain career-entry competence through practical experience.

To review this basic material that will be assumed knowledge upon arrival at HCMC, please complete the following assignment using the required textbook. (Strasinger, SK. Urinalysis and Body Fluids, 5th ed., Philadelphia, FA Davis, 2008.)

Instructions

  • Read the assigned chapters listed and write out answers (preferably typed) to each of the assigned learning objectives found on the first pages of each chapter.
  • Test your knowledge with the study questions at the end of each chapter. Answers are provided in back of the book. (You are not required to write out answers to the study questions.)
  • Turn in your written learning objective answers on the first day of orientation. They will be evaluated for completeness and will be returned to you to reference during the Urinalysis course and for future exams.
  • Bring your text with you during your Urinalysis course at HCMC.
