Implementation and Evaluation of Virtual Laboratory Tours for Laboratory Diagnosis of Hematologic Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

There is often limited time allocated to teaching laboratory medicine to medical students. Without adequate time and context, it can be difficult for students to learn appropriate uses and limitations of laboratory tests.
