Learning outcomes |
To prepare student for the first contact with Clinical Laboratory (CL)
To give students theoretical/practical training in the areas of Clinical Analysis
To provide clinical and laboratory knowledge for integration in specific teams
To perform basic training in expertise areas
At the end of this course the student should be able to:
-Know the hierarchy of a CL
-Apply knowledge in the understanding of the disease
-Perform laboratory techniques with increasing complexity
-Acquire practical skills including microscopy
-Interpret the results of the External Quality Assessment
-Identify and recognize changes in analytical parameters
-Interpret an analytical request and know how to fit the laboratory findings in different pathologies
-Identify laboratory cases of urgency
-Know to use scientific reasoning in the search for self-learning

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical classes and theoretical-practical classes of a dynamic nature for interpreting analytical bulletins and resolving practical cases, methodologies used in the quantification of parameters and the entire process of interpreting laboratory results and their validation.
Final grade (NF) = 70% Theoretical grade + 30% Practical grade
NF for approval in the UC: 10 values (after rounding).
The NF grade formula for frequencies and exams. The exam grade is considered a theoretical grade.
Approval for the theoretical and practical components is mandatory (minimum grade of 9.5 for the theoretical component and 9.5 for the practical component, for all assessment periods).
In the practical component, two unjustified absences imply failure of the UC
