Learning Objectives
- Clinical Pathology
Which certain information scientific regarding laboratory medicine related to the clinical pathology suitable for the preparation of the student for those materials which will be used after the completion of training
- Clinical Biochemistry
The course is designed to provide students with a good foundation of knowledge in all aspects of Clinical Biochemistry. Introducing the fundamentals of instrumentation and methodology in the clinical chemistry and biochemistry laboratory medicine, lectures will cover urinalysis testing procedures and associated disease entities, as well as analysis of other body fluids. Clinical testing using automated and manual methods, measurement of pancreatic function and intestinal absorption, renal and liver function, enzymes, electrolytes, blood gases, lipids, toxicology, urinalysis, endocrinology, neurological, dysmetabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases.
- Clinical Microbiology
Learning of principal scientific fundaments in a modern Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology useful to prepare Students for future knowledge of all methods to reach an exact clinical diagnosis.
Knowledge of microbiological diagnosis for bacteria, fungi, parasites and virus
Knowledge of the tests used in microbiological diagnosis
Knowledge of biological samples suitable for microbiological diagnosis
Modalities for collection of clinical samples, transport and storage of pathological matherials used for diagnostic purposes
Interpretation of the results of microbiological tests
