Introduction |
|
| The Division of Clinical Laboratories in Fukushima Medical College Hospital
was born in 1960 and the Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine was
established in 1995. Faculty staffs are as follows: a professor and a chairman
Hiroshi YOSHIDA, M.D. an associate professor Yutaka MIURA Ph.D. and instructors
Toshihiko NAGAI Ph.D. and Yuji IMAFUKU, M.D. Duties of the staff members
are education of medical students, postgraduate students and medical laboratory
technologists, consultations to medical doctors, management of Clinical
Laboratories and research works. These have been performed by close collaborations
with laboratory technologists. |

Research |
|
| Our research interests ranges widely in the
various fields of laboratory medicine. The recent
investigations are focused on the autoantibodies
including antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor,
antineutrophil antibodies and so on, sampling
or preanalytical issues including antigenicity
of Hb, K-flux of erythrocytes, detergents-effects,
EDTA-effects, and so on, and quality control and
standardization of laboratory tests. Researches
and evaluations of newly developed laboratory
tests are carried out by close collaboration with
medical technologists in the Clinical Laboratory
Sections. Those fruits are mainly reported in
annual meetings of Japanese Society of Laboratory
Medicine, Japanese Society of Laboratory Automation,
and also in various international meetings and
published in academic journals. |

Education |
|
The lecture course of Clinical Laboratory Medicine
for 4th grade medical students includes the general
aspects of clinical laboratory medicine, theory
and clinical significance of fundamental laboratory
tests. Practical trainings of laboratory medicine
as bedside learning (BSL) are carried out for
5th (primary course) and for 6th (advanced course)
year students. They include blood sampling, urinalysis,
blood analyses, bacteriological and physiological
tests. Students also learn the clinical laboratory
system including quality assurance and management
of our hospital.
We also take part in the education of medical
technology students and postgraduate education
for medical technologists. |
