Correct evaluation of the information provided by the technical specifications of clinical and hematological pathology. Ability to address the interpretation of technical problems. Knowledge of the scientific bases and principles of the basic techniques such as spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, centrifugation, enzyme kinetics applied to diagnostics, immunochemical techniques
Course Prerequisites
The prerequisites for attending the course derive from the educational obligations of the previous year (I year). Adequate basic knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology and immunology is required. Knowledge of laboratory techniques is required as per the first year's curriculum.
Teaching Methods
The course is organized with lectures that provide for slide projections (usually in English). During the explanation in the classroom the students are invited to interact with the teachers with questions and curiosity. During the lectures the teachers will also present cases and daily facts that can make the application / importance of the subjects of the teachings understand. Students have the obligation to attend classes as established in the educational regulations of the study course and to sign the time sheet for taking the exam. Teachers undertake to make projected presentations available to lectures and other material of interest (articles) through the University computer platforms (e-learning) to which students have access.
Assessment Methods
Oral exams, the minimum to pass the exam is 18/30. During the exam the student will be evaluated considering his knowledge and understanding ( 25 % ), the ability to apply knowledge and understanding ( 25 % ) , his independent judgment ( 15 % ), the communication skills ( 15 % ) and the ability to learn ( 20 % ) in relation to training program.
