Welcome Speech

In the Name of Allah

It is my great pleasure and honor on behalf of entire staff of the department, to welcome you all to Clinical Biochemistry departmental page, which was established in 2012-2013 within the college of Health Sciences, Hawler Medical University.

The BSc Clinical Biochemistry is full- time four year program, offered by the Department of Clinical biochemistry, College of Health Sciences, Hawler Medical University. The program is specifically designed to provide students with a through grounding in the theory and practice of clinical biochemistry as conducted within the modern health science laboratory. In particular, the program seeks to develop their academic, practical, professional and communication skills.

Upon graduation, clinical biochemistries practice in variety setting including primary health care centers, governmental hospitals, Private hospitals, health center, and medical research centers.

Vision

The vision of the department of Clinical Biochemistry is to be committed to excellence in biochemistry education as well as scientific research and community services through the Department's academic and research expertise through collaboration with other relevant national and international departments and institutions.

Mission

To advance the science and practice of clinical chemistry and laboratory through quality leadership and innovation excellence in professional training, standard of patient care, research, improved communication and understanding of disease through training courses, workshops, To prepare competent graduates with outstanding capabilities which help them understand the biochemical basics of biological processes inside the human body, both in sickness and disease, and to pursue scientific research in all medical domains.

Course Objectives:

During the study, students should be able to demonstrate competence in preparing and interpreting a variety of clinical specimens, including appropriate documentation which may include working with laboratory information systems. Students should also exhibit appropriate behaviors with respect to interpersonal relationships, dependability, integrity and professionalism.
