Learning Objectives

Clinical Pathology
The course develops skills in the field of Clinical Pathology and aims to teach the student to apply, evaluate and interpret laboratory tests used in the study of the major diseases of the blood, coagulation and fibrinolytic system, alterations in hepatic and renal function and in the autoimmune disorders, in the diabete and in the liver and kidney disorders.
Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology
Knowledge of prevention and prophylaxis criteria of infections and possible therapeutic opportunities; pathology and pathogenesis of the main infectious agents involved in human pathology; paths of follow-up, diagnosis, and therapy; apply the knowledge of microbiology to human disease by systems or organs.
