One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Medical Laboratory Testing

Medical laboratory testing is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of biological specimens to aid diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease. Mastery of specimen types, pre‑analytical variables, analytical methods, and quality control is essential for accurate results and patient safety, making it a core part of the NUC CCMAS and NBTE syllabi.
