30 questions

Before you begin

Thirty questions on the principles of laboratory diagnostics: the role of testing and patient counseling, the pretest, intratest and posttest phases, the order of draw and which tube goes with which test, stool, blood, sputum and throat studies, point-of-care testing with its regulation, and the statistics — sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and pre-test probability. Reference ranges are always supplied and no question asks you to calculate a predictive value, matching how Professor Reynolds said this course is examined. Every question cites the slide it came from.
