Learning objectives
Ability to identify the more relevant moments and procedures for the organization of
the biomedical laboratory performing welfare activity since the acceptation of
samples to the medical report.
Prerequisites
- - -
Course unit content
Clinical Microbiology.
- General aspects of the organization of the biomedical laboratory of microbiology;
- The personnel of the biomedical laboratory of microbiology: type, tasks, staff
equipment, distribution, specialization;
- The product of the biomedical laboratory of microbiology: objectives, organization
in sectors, sub-sectors and sections, nomenclator, evaluation of the numerousness
and complexity of the examinations, phases of the production, workload;

timetable (full-time employ, part-time employ, guard and/or prompt availability on
request), extraordinary time, leave, permission;
- The costs of the activities of the biomedical laboratory of microbiology: fixed costs,
variable costs, tariffs;
- The quality in the biomedical laboratory of microbiology: internal controls, external
evaluation, evaluation of the performance, accreditation, certification;
- The request for the examinations to the biomedical laboratory of microbiology:
evaluation of the completeness of the request, evaluation of the suitability of the
sample, production of the medical report;
- Other organizational aspects of the biomedical laboratory of microbiology:
automation, robotization, waste disposal, storage of the reagents and dangerous
materials, storage of the samples; the updating and the continue training, the
professional secret, errors and damages, responsibilities, internal and external
relations.
The Laboratory of Molecular Genetics (LMG): function and activities of the Technician of the Biomedical Laboratory.
The quality assessment and the certification of LMG
The safety of worker in the LMG
