Chemistry, especially analytical chemistry, plays a critical role in almost every science and engineering disciplines, and it becomes an important part in addressing and resolving broader societal concerns. Thus, today’s chemistry education must be more relevant to modern analytical laboratory practices.  Although traditional undergraduate chemistry curricula provide a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of analytical chemistry, they do not formally value practical skills that enable students to adapt and be successful in today’s rapidly changing and competitive analytical workplace.  To bridge the current gap between “real work” experiences and university training in analytical chemistry, the author has incorporated real world clinical analytical research projects into analytical chemistry curriculum to prepare our students academically for what the real world wants from them. The incorporated clinical analytical research projects challenged students to think creatively and improved their skills in communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. The details of this innovative curriculum project will be given at the presentation. <br/>
