Abstract
Medical laboratory diagnostics is an integral segment of modern medicine. Today, more than 70% of decisions in clinical treatment rely on the results of tests performed by medical-diagnostic laboratories. Considering the rapid development of molecular medicine, personalized medicine, as well as the methods and technologies used in laboratory medicine, the continuous professional and scientific training of experts in the field of medical-laboratory activities is of crucial importance. This is achieved through education at the graduate and postgraduate level. By employing highly educated experts, trained to work in the health and health care system in the field of medical-laboratory diagnostics, the system of analysis of biological samples is improved and significantly contributes to the process of prevention, detection and treatment of diseases.
