About the Course:

The Clinical Laboratory Procedures microcredential introduces learners to the essential principles and practices of laboratory testing in clinical and diagnostic settings. Through immersive VR simulations, learners gain hands-on experience in specimen collection, handling, labeling, and processing while following proper safety and quality control measures. This microcredential supports learners enrolled in clinical medical assistant training by strengthening core laboratory competencies, emphasizing accuracy, infection prevention, and adherence to protocols essential for patient safety. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key components and functions of a clinical laboratory.
  • Understand the principles of specimen collection, handling, and processing.
  • Demonstrate safe and accurate techniques for common laboratory procedures.
  • Apply infection control, safety standards, and quality assurance practices.
  • Accurately document and communicate laboratory findings in compliance with protocols.

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
