Microcomputers in the teaching laboratory: a hematology case study.

The new mass market microcomputers offer an economical means of providing individualized instruction to medical technology students. A program that uses case studies to familiarize students with the erythrokinetic model for classifying anemias is being used to supplement classroom instruction at Minot State College, Minot, North Dakota. The program encourages students to apply the information they receive in class to solving practical problems in hematology.
