Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at its
meeting of May 15, 1979 gives rise to the following motion:
MOTION I
"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of
Governors, as set forth in S.79-73 , the analytical biochemistry
option proposal, including:

Training
CHEM 398-0

CHEM 399-0

It was noted that the basic nature of the proposals had earlier gone
forward as a new degree program in Clinical Chemistry, with the hospital
training courses identified as credit carrying. At that time the proposals
had been approved by SCAP, by Senate and by the Board of Governors. The
present proposal does not provide for credit for the hospital training
programs. It is envisaged that following experience with the program as
proposed, it might become clear that it would fit the Cooperative Education
model, but the proposal is not being forwarded at the present time in the
full Cooperative Education mode.
It is proposed that the fees for these three courses be applied in
the same fashion as for the practica courses in Co-Op Ed., i.e. one-half
the 15 credit load fee plus the off-campus student activity fee.
It was recognized that these courses should only be introduced if
the required funding is obtained and that the request for that funding
must be pursued through the normal budget channels available to departments.
Time Waiver: SCUS approved a waiver of the normal time lag requirement in
order that CHEM 397-0, CHEM 398-0, and CHEM 399-0 may be first offered in
the Fall semester 79-3, subject to approval of the courses by Senate and
the Board.

BACKGROUND
The growing complexity of analyses of biological ma-
terials for medical and environmental purposes has created
a need for well qualified B.Sc. biochemistry graduands
possessing a sound foundation in analytical biochemistry.
It is envisioned that such individuals will fill the void
between the
levels
of the laboratory technologist and the
Ph.D. research scientist.
A survey of institutions offering the type of training
envisioned revealed that in Canada there are few western
universities involved in this area.
Much of the current need for Medical Laboratory Tech-
nologists is met by personnel trained in two year programs.
In
British Columbia training in Medical
Laboratory Technology
is
to the two year level, undertaken by a number of approved
and accredited hospitals in cooperation with the B.C.I.T.
and Cariboo College. In practice, a grade twelve graduate
enrolls in the Medical Technology program at B.C.I.T. or
C.C. After one successful year of formal training equiva-
lent to senior matriculation the student applies for spon-
sorship
to an approved hospital. If sponsored, the student
completes
one further year at the educational institution
and proceeds to one year of practical hospital training.
After a successful hospital training period, candidates
are eligible
to apply to write the C.S.L.T. (Canadian Society

of Laboratory Technologists) examinations, These
exarniña-'
tions are multifaceted in that they test the
candidate's
expertise in hematology, clinical microbiology,
histology,
clinical chemistry (analytical biochemistry) and blood bank
technology. Successful completion of these
examinations
leads to the professional qualification of
Registered Tech-
nologist with what is termed a General Certificate.
A survey of B.C. hospitals and private laboratories
in 1974 indicated a need for persons specializing
in the
area of Analytical Biochemistry. The provincial need for
such trainees is currently estimated at ten per year and
is barely met by recruitment from outside the province.
The more attractive alternative would be the training of
B.Sc. biochemists utilizing the proposed option and upgrading
qualifications of technologists with two year's formal
training utilizing again the proposed option in biochemistry.
S.F.IJ.'s initial response to the need for B.Sc.
level
training in analytical biochemistry was the
development of
appropriate courses and constituted the mainstay of
evening
refresher courses in cooperation with the Education
COt,1t-
tee of the B.C. Society of Medical Technologists during
1974-78. These were highly successful and well attended
by practicing laboratory technologists.
Parallel with these offerings and in consultation with
professional groups and hospitals, S.F.U. developed a pro-
posal for a B.Sc. in Clinical Chemistry. This proposal

was built around existing degree offerings but differed
from existing degree packages sufficiently in that it was
considered a new program. The proposal was endorsed by
the hospitals' professional bodies and the University.
It was not, however, approved by the University's Council.
The reasons for this rejection did not lie in the pro-
gram's academic or practical merit but were construed to
lie in the nature of the U.C.B.C. program approval process.
It was 'suggested by several authorities involved in the
discussion of the proposal at U.C.B.C. that the proposal
was worthy of pursuit preferably as an internally arranged
option.

PROPOSAL
?
^A
The Biochemistry Committee undertook a reevaluation
of
the
course offerings in Chemistry, Biosciences, Bio-
chemistry,
?
Kinesiology, Mathematics and Physics at S.F.U.
with a view toward development of an undergraduate
option
with an emphasis in Analytical Biochemistry.
?
This led to
the formulation of a core of courses which were considered
necessary for the graduate to meet the requirements pro-
posed by Committees on Education in Clinical Chemistry
(CSCC). ?
The sequence of courses that evolved from this
examination contained the biochemistry majors core pro-
gram, additional existing S.F.U. courses in the area of
analytical biochemistry and allied areas as well as hospital
practica which had previously been approved for the pro-
posed clinical chemistry program.
This analytical biochemistry option is minimally
changed from the previous proposal in Clinical Chemistry.
It is designed so that the student will be eligible to write
the Subject Registered Technologist Certification Examina-
tion in Clinical Chemistry concurrent with obtaining the
B.Sc. degree. ?
This option will also be available to
in-
terested medical laboratory technologists who wish to pursue
their studies in such a way that they will be eligible to
write the Subject Advanced Registered Technologist Examinations
in Clinical Chemistry concurrent with obtaining the B.Sc. degree.
Because of the requirements of the Canadian Society of Laboratory
/

 
-5-
Technologists that a student train in an approved labora-
tory for one year as a partial requirement for an R.T.,
each student without prior hospital laboratory experience
will be required to train in an accredited hospital or bio-
medical laboratory normally in one semester of each of the
second, third and fourth year of study.
A comparison of the two proposals is given below.
Using the proposed B.Sc. in Clinical Chemistry as the starting
base, the proposed Analytical Biochemistry option is gen-
erated as follows:

Clinical Chemistry program and the remainder are part of
other B.Sc. programs. Students may be admitted to the B.Sc.
Biochemistry program with advanced standing. Transfer
credit may be granted for appropriate academic course work
completed at other institutions to a maximum of 60 semester
hours. Acceptable practical laboratory training (an accepted
equivalent of CHEM 397, 398, 399) may also be transferred
but only for students who are accepted into the Analytical
Biochemistry Option.
Students pursuing the Analytical Biochemistry Option
must complete additional university B.Sc. requirements to
acquire the necessary credit hours for graduation. For

Entrance requirements, operation and objectives, for
the Analytical Biochemistry Option closely parallel those
of the earlier clinical chemistry proposal and are described
below.
Because of the need for concurrent theoretical and
Practical training we recommend that only those
applicants
be admitted into this option who can be placed in teaching
hospital, or appropriate biomedical, laboratories during
the course of their studies; i.e., registration in CH
EM
397, 398, 399. It is recommended that this requirement be
waived for those students with one year of similar laboratory
experience.
The proposed mechanism of entrance is as follows:
1.
The student applies to S.F.U. and is accepted into
the University.
2.
The student completes first years of basic science
courses (per Typical Program Outline) and
applied to
the Biochemistry Committee for admission into the
Analytical Biochemistry Option of the biochemistry
program.
3.
The Biochemistry Committee, together with the off-campus
laboratory personnel (Advisory Board), select students
to be admitted. At this time provision for
off-campus*
laboratory training is made.

Students admitted go forward.
Operation of Option
It is proposed to establish an advisory board to over-
see the operation of this Option. Membership should be
distributed between the Biochemistry Program Committee and
appropriate personnel of the laboratories involved
in the
off-campus training. The advisory panel should be involved
in curriculum review and coordination of the off-campus
training. This latter function will involve selection and
placement of students in approved laboratories.
Objectives of Option
To prepare the Biochemistry graduate with the following
abilities:
1.
Work independently in the analytical biochemistry labora-
tory.
2.
Read, understand, develop and standardize methods for
routine laboratory use.
3.
Understand all phases of analytical biochemistry labora-
tory operation.
4.
Minitor quality control.
5.
Troubleshoot a method and spot potential errors.
6.
Understand data reduction and dissemination.
7. Understand the

The following is the proposed calendar entry
following
the section describing the requirements for
Biochemistry
honours (Page 363, 1977-78 Calendar).
Analytical Biochemistry Option
The practical training courses, CHEM 397-0,
398-0, 399-0,
will be arranged through the program advisor.
Registration
in these courses constitutes a full semester load. In
addition to the regular core requirements of the
Biochemistry
major or honours program, the following courses
must also be
included:
BISC 303-3,
1428...3
CHEM 416-3, 420-3, 423-3, 424-2
KIN 336-3, 405-3, 406-3
MATH 101-3, 302-3
Upon satisfactory completion of the practical
training
courses, students will be eligible to apply for
examination
and certification by the Canadian Society of Laboratory
Technology.

Special Instructions for CHEM 397, 398, 399
?
1.
?
Students must complete normal University registration
procedures and be admissible to the University before
enrolling in CHEM 397, 398 or 399. It is highly recom-
mended that such students complete their University
registration sixty days in advance of the commencement
of the semester in which they plan to enroll in these
courses. In addition, students desiring to enroll in
these courses must make written application to the Bio-
chemistry Committee at least sixty days before the com-
mencement of the semester in which the course commences.
Later applicants will be considered only if space is
available.
• ?
2. ?
In the event that the number of applicants to CHEM
397, 398 and 399 exceeds facilities and staffing capa-
bilities, the Biochemistry Committee will select those
applicants considered to be the best qualified. Can-
didates on a waiting list will be ranked together with
new applicants.
?
3. ?
Students who have indicated their intention to
under-
take
a given semester of CHEM 397, 398 or 399 and who
do not honour this commitment, must consider
that re-
enrollment in
these prescribed courses is not given
automatically. Such permission must be sought by
written request from the student to the Biochemistry

the semester in which the student proposes
to re-
enroll in these courses.

Students may request or be required
by the supervisor
to discontinue enrollment in the
practical training
courses.
5.
CHEM 397, 398 and 399 are considered
full time profes-
sional studies and may not normally be taken
in con-

Rationale for Operation of CHEM 397, 398, 399
as P/W Courses
These courses are designed to give
students practical
experience in various areas or phases of
laboratory work
ordinarily required and conducted
in biomedical laboratories.
Should during the conduct of the these
courses
it
become
evident that the student is incapable of
conducting the
prescribed experimentation, the
student would voluntarily
withdraw or be required, by the
supervisor, to withdraw.
Compulsory withdrawal preserves the
right of the employer
to properly manage a laboratory particularly where
safety of
personnel and equipment might be involved.

cholesterol kit
he feels would save your laboratory considerable
technologist
time. How do you go about evaluating the kit?
b)
You are asked to set up a chemistry section for a 100 acute
bed and 100 chronic bed general hospital. Ksdia$1.
nd
surgical beds comprise approximately 500 each.
Then,
is a
small pediatric service, mostly for
