title: Post-doctoral training of the non-physician doctoral scientist.
abstract: Postgraduate training of the non-MD clinical chemist (clinical biochemist) is for the most part 'on the job training'. There are few formally structured programs to achieve the necessary skills and understanding needed by individuals before he or she can assume the directorship of a modern clinical laboratory. The experience and training must include management, laboratory performance, medical interface, research and education.
