1Organize routine tests appropriately into diagnostic profiles that best characterize abnormalities in acid-base, the urinary system, the hepatobiliary system, exocrine pancreas (pancreatitis), muscle, endocrine pancreas, adrenal gland, thyroid gland and parathyroid gland.

2Describe relevant physiology for each test involved in biochemical profiling, describe relevant mechanisms for alterations from normal, list differentials and prioritize differential lists based on other laboratory and clinical information.

3Recommend follow-up testing that may lead to a definitive diagnosis where appropriate.

4Integrate CBC data interpretations (e.g., from CPB 85500 - Veterinary Hematology & Cytology) with biochemical profiling results.

5Characterize and diagnose disorders of hemostasis based on integration of clinical findings with hemostasis-specific and associated laboratory testing. The student will be able to: Explain the physiology of primary, secondary, & tertiary hemostasis, and anticoagulation, including the correct association of the "key elements" of hemostasis with each process; Correctly associate assays for hemostasis with the stage/process that they evaluate and interpret abnormal results.
