Learning Objectives

Each objective describes a laboratory competency, screening tests support patterns, not definitive diagnosis alone.

Define hemostasis as vascular, platelet, coagulation, and fibrinolytic components
Distinguish primary vs secondary hemostasis at laboratory overview depth
Identify when coagulation screening supports, but does not alone diagnose, bleeding or thrombotic patterns
Cross-link Module 8 platelet-structure-and-function and Module 1 introduction-to-hematology
