Minor in Clinical Biochemistry

The minor in Clinical Biochemistry gives you the option to pick just that one area of clinical laboratory science, if it interests you.  The graduate of the entire clinical laboratory science program is called a "generalist" and can practice in the areas of clinical biochemistry, hematology, transfusion services, immunology and clinical microbiology. The Clinical Biochemistry minor allows  study in clinical biochemistry, without taking all of the program courses.  It includes general principles of human physiology and clinical laboratory operation as well as clinical biochemistry-related topics such as toxicology and drug testing, enzyme kinetics, immunochemistry, lipid, protein, and carbohydrate testing, tumor markers, biochemical pathologies, etc. You can complete the minor by taking courses offered on campus.  

Pre-requisites include one year of general chemistry. Organic chemistry is highly recommended  Grades of C or better are required in all courses applicable to the minor. Prior approval to enroll in the courses is required as there are a limited number of seats. Additional details and the required form are provided using the link below. The form should be submitted by July 1 for approval to enroll in fall classes.  See the checklist.
