It provides scientifically-based evidences and access to the verification or exclusion of certain diagnoses, guides or monitors medical treatments, and evaluates the severity and prognosis of diseases. It is also invaluable in mass screening and investigating the risk factors of major systemic disorders, and thus can promote human health through detecting and treating diseases in early or preclinical stages. In National Taiwan University Hospital, before World War II, laboratory tests were developed by physicians in clinical departments and were usually performed by junior attending physicians. In order to provide the basic and advanced medical tests for the purpose of patient care and to educate medical and medical technology students, the Department of Laboratory Diagnosis and the School of Medical Technology of the College of Medicine of National Taiwan University were established in August, 1956. The Department of Laboratory Diagnosis changed its name to the Department of Laboratory Medicine in 1994. (The School of Medical Technology changed its name to the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences and Medical Biotechnology in 2005.) The Department of Laboratory Medicine consists of division of Biochemistry, Hematology, Microbiology, Virology, Transfusion and Transplantation, STAT Laboratory, Clinical Microscopy, Cytology, Blood sampling, Electrocardiography, Molecular Diagnostics, Immunology, and Quality Control. Our department has high-quality faculties, who are competent to lead medical technicians of the laboratory medicine, to educate medical and medical technology students, and to provide professional consultations and essential information to clinicians for patient care. Our department also has highly qualified facilities, which can provide not only essential laboratory tests for patient care but also clinical and scientific researches.檢驗醫學是近代醫學上重要之科學，在浩瀚的醫學領域中，能提供可靠的客觀資料，來證實或排除某種診斷，指引及監測醫療，評估疾病之嚴重度及預後，還可用來發現病案或篩檢出險向因素，得以預防及早期治療重大全身性疾病，以促進健康。在二次世界大戰結束以前，本校附設醫院並無此科，各種檢驗由臨床各科各自設檢查室來執行，其作業通常由各科新進醫師擔任。 本校於西元1956年8月正式成立臺大醫學院實驗診斷科及醫事技術學系，負起服務病患、教育醫學系及醫事技術學系學生之三重任務。1994年實驗診斷科改名為檢驗醫學科。（醫事技術學系於2005年改名為醫學檢驗暨生物技術學系。） 檢驗醫學科在附設醫院之編制上目前分為生化檢驗組，血液檢驗組，細菌檢驗組，病毒檢驗組，輸血暨移植檢驗組，緊急檢驗組，臨床鏡檢暨細胞學組，抽血、心電圖檢驗組以及分子、免疫暨品管組。 本科之師資、設備完備，足以領導附設醫院檢驗醫學部之醫檢師，且可提供附設醫院醫師專業諮詢，並足以教育本校醫學生之檢驗醫學知識，為台灣培養優秀的檢驗醫學人才。Academic Institute
