KNU School of medicine

The Department of Clinical Pathology was established more than 70 years ago and has a longstanding history to educate and train many doctors as specialists. The department has tried to set the automation and computerization of laboratory, and hence the department was inspected by a team consisting of CAP (College of American Pathologists) inspectors on October 26, 2000 and acquired a certificate of CAP for the first time among a number of national university hospitals. Since that the department has been inspected every other year by the CAP team and has renewed the certificate. The certificate of CAP covers the sections of hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunology, blood bank, molecular genetics, and the overall management of laboratory. This indicates our laboratories are very well organized and our test results are wholly reliable for the clinical diagnosis and management of patients. In addition, from 2008 the department started to run KNUH-NCCP (national culture collection for pathogens) to keep bacterial species from patients and supply these bacteria to researchers for the purpose of basic and clinical research.​
