CLS 505: Laboratory Management

Taken Fall 2010
Instructor: Pat Greenup

I registered for this course thinking that I could obtain an overview of general management topics from a laboratory perspective...hence the title Laboratory Management. The course description that I originally read in the UAB catalog said all of the right things to pique my interest (leadership styles and management theory; recruitment, interview, and selection of personnel; team building), but it only took one class to figure out that it would not be very applicable to forensic science students. This course would more appropriately be named Clinical Laboratory Management as it seemed to be heavy on the Clinical Laboratory and light on the Management. Although I'm sure this class would be thoroughly stimulating for the Hematology enthusiast, don't waste an afternoon on it like I did.
