Each objective describes a laboratory interpretation competency, method choice, timing, and result correlation, not antiviral dosing or treatment selection.

  • Integrate Module 3 skills across case vignettes: specimen fitness, method choice, timing, and pathway-stage reporting
  • Prioritize laboratory actions (recollect guidance, molecular add-on per SOP, confirmation hold, STAT CSF PCR) from order to report
  • Demonstrate case reasoning that informs clinicians without selecting antivirals or doses
