title: Postgraduate degree course in clinical biochemistry.
abstract: A report on the progress of the M.Sc. courses in clinical biochemistry run at the University of Surrey over the past 7 years is given. The previous experience and qualifications of the students and their careers subsequent to taking the course are analysed. A description of the course structure and syllabus is given. It is concluded that the course has been useful in attracting both science graduates and medical graduates of high calibre, in providing them with a sound laboratory-based training in clinical biochemistry, and in stimulating their interest in following a career in clinical biochemistry and chemical pathology.
