4 Individual Tiered Case Studies

Students will design 4 original clinical case studies, each incorporating results from at least two or more laboratory departments (e.g., Hematology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Immunohematology, Urinalysis, or Molecular Diagnostics).

Each case must be presented in a stepwise format a small portion of information (e.g., patient history, partial results) is given, followed by a question or prompt, then additional data or findings are revealed. This format should lead the reader through the diagnostic reasoning process, encouraging analysis before each reveal.

Each case should demonstrate accurate lab interpretation, clinical reasoning, and professional presentation. ALL sources used must be cited.

Cases will be graded according to the rubric attached.
