These publications included suggested curricula for some laboratory medicine subdisciplines, 28-34 reviews of best practices, [35][36][37][38][39][40] and recent data on the laboratory tests that medical students most frequently sought additional information about during their internal medicine clerkship. 41 The initial document was formulated by an ad hoc committee representing 15 medical schools.…”

As the 100th anniversary of the Flexner report nears, medical student education is being reviewed at many levels. One area of concern, expressed in recent reports from some national health care organizations, is the adequacy of training in the discipline of laboratory medicine (also termed clinical pathology). The Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists appointed an ad hoc committee to review this topic and to develop a suggested curriculum, which was subsequently forwarded to the entire membership for review. The proposed medical student laboratory medicine curriculum defines goals and objectives for training, provides guidelines for instructional methods, and gives examples of how outcomes can be assessed. This curriculum is presented as a potentially helpful outline for use by medical school faculty and curriculum committees.
