Many clinical laboratory scientists find themselves in a management position during their career, but have limited training to assume this role. The Clinical Laboratory Tycoon case study was designed to submerge students into the laboratory business by having the participant act as a laboratory manager with the capacity to make all the decisions about his or her own lab.
The student participant completed a set of modules that each related to varying aspects of managing a laboratory including selecting what tests to offer, hiring employees, marketing the services, setting goals, budgeting, and evaluating overall success.
This Clinical Laboratory Tycoon case study was used to instruct clinical laboratory science students in a university based clinical laboratory science program as part of their seminar in teaching, research, and management course. The size of these classes range from ten to twenty students and results reported in this paper are collected from a class size of sixteen students. The study could also be adapted for use in a hospital based program or as continuing education for laboratory employees.
At the conclusion of the study, the student participants reported what they had learned during their time as managers and how their perspective changed.
Student participants reported that they gained an understanding and appreciation for the responsibilities of the laboratory manager. For some, this study helped to define career goals.
许多临床检验科学家在其职业生涯中会担任管理职位，但承担该角色的相关培训有限。临床检验大亨案例研究旨在让学生沉浸于实验室业务中，让参与者扮演实验室经理，有权对自己的实验室做出所有决策。
学生参与者完成了一系列模块，每个模块都与管理实验室的不同方面相关，包括选择提供哪些检测项目、招聘员工、营销服务、设定目标、预算编制以及评估总体成效。
该临床检验大亨案例研究用于指导一所大学临床检验科学专业的学生，作为他们教学、研究与管理课程研讨班的一部分。这些班级规模从10名到20名学生不等，本文所报告的结果是从一个16名学生的班级收集而来的。该研究也可适用于医院相关专业，或作为实验室员工的继续教育。
在研究结束时，学生参与者报告了他们在担任经理期间学到了什么以及他们的观点是如何改变的。
学生参与者报告称，他们对实验室经理的职责有了理解和认识。对一些人来说，这项研究有助于明确职业目标。
