COLLEGE OF MEDICINE INTRODUCTION The Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM) was established at Ikeja on the 9th February, 1999. The first set of students were admitted in the 1998/99 session. The College was granted the pre-clinical accreditation for the first professional Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) Degrees Examinations on the 1st December, 1999 by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) which is charged with the responsibility of supervising the programmes of Medical Schools in Nigeria. In February 2004, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria gave the College and the Teaching Hospital Accreditation for the Laboratory Courses and the Courses leading to the 3rd Professional MB.BS Degrees Examinations. Academic Structure 1. College, Faculties, Departments The College of Medicine comprises two Faculties listed below: Basic Medical Sciences Clinical Sciences There are sixteen academic departments in the two Faculties, the Medical Library and five service departments.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL PATHOLOGY Philosophy The undergraduate course of study in Chemical Pathology is designed to highlight the central role which abnormalities of biochemical and metabolic functions of cells, tissues and organs play in prevention, diagnosis, management and prognosis of disease state. It also teaches how these abnormalities of biochemical and metabolic functions may be recognized by performing relevant tests(i.e. measurements of components of biological fluids, tissues or organs).There is emphasis on the need to interpret results of such tests, in the context of the clinical picture in individual patients. Objectives 1.

To expose student to the rule of abnormalities of biochemical and metabolic functions of cells, tissues and organs in the prevention, diagnosis, management and prynois or diseases.

2.

To expose students to relevant diagnostic techniques for identification of biochemical and metabolic disorder.

3.

To teach students interpretation of biochemical results in health and diseases.
