| 1. | Identify and implement strategies for developing efficient laboratory workplace design. | Cognitive, psychomotor |
| 2. | Develop an employee schedule to meet the needs of laboratory operations. | Cognitive, affective |
| 3. | Develop and demonstrate communication skills required to perform collaborative laboratory operations. | Affective, cognitive |
| 4. | Recognize the role of, and perform, various laboratory bench operations, including specimen processing, specimen analysis, result reporting, and specimen storage. | Psychomotor, cognitive |
| 5. | Perform, assess, and monitor quality control analysis required for patient testing. | Psychomotor, cognitive |
| 6. | Assess the quality and suitability of specimens based on knowledge of analyte characteristics, known interferences, and procedural information. | Cognitive, psychomotor |
