The key role of laboratory medicine is to diagnose disease, follow up, and forecast prognosis by testing various samples such as blood, urine, stool, bone marrow and body fluids. It also introduces fundamental medicine to clinical medicine, and plays a important role in education and study. The laboratory medicine has grown as the single largest component of objective scientific data within the medical record of patients. The broadening diversity of measurements with various assays to contribute clinical management from prenatal days to newborn screening through childhood, adulthood, and into geriatric ages. This life‐long trail of medical observations and laboratory test results is now being organized into a continuous Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The role of laboratory medicine for future medicine lies in how to use all of this information to counsel patients about life‐style modifications and improvement of disease risk based on a wide range of medical data with genetic testing, chemical, hematological, microbiological, and other laboratory disciplines. In our department, most of the tests performed by advanced automation devices throughout the Order Communication System (OCS) and Laboratory Information System (LIS). All tests and devices are managed by professional medical technicians and professors who are specialized in each part of laboratory medicine. Our department has been certified as a top-quality laboratory by the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine.
 
Division of laboratory medicine
1. Clinical Chemistry : Evaluation of renal function, water, electrolytes, metabolic intermediates and molecules of nitrogen exchange, carbohydrates, lipids, specific proteins, and acid‐base balance.
2. Diagnostic Hematology : Examination of blood and bone marrow, hematopoiesis, and erythrocytic and leukocytic disorders.
3. Clinical Microbiology : Deals with infectious agents from viral infections through Chlamydia, rickettsia, and mycoplasma and extending to classical medical bacteriology.
4. Transfusion Medicine : Provides blood to all medical specialties in need of transfusion and is responsible for relevant tests, blood donation, component blood donation and therapeutic apheresis.
5. Diagnostic Immunology : Function of the immune system and immunologic disorders along with a comprehensive account of the different types of immunoassays.
6. Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics : Basic principles and techniques and the procedures for establishing a molecular diagnostics laboratory. They include special applications to hematopoietic neoplasms, such as Multiplex RT‐PCR, Real time PCR, and HLA direct sequencing used for stem cell donor identity as well as VNTR for monitoring of stem cell transplantation.
7. Laboratory Informatics : The organization, purposes, and practices of analysis, interpretation, and management within the clinical laboratory. Pre‐analytical, analytical and post‐analytical aspects of laboratory testings are also included.
