Learning objectives
This module aims to provide students with the theoretical knowledge necessary for the understanding and subsequent practical application carried out during the course of professional training in immunohaematological and transfusion fields.
Prerequisites

Course unit content
Inside the module will be presented and analyzed the main laboratory techniques used in a Laboratory of Immunohaematology and Transfusion Medicine carried out both on the donor and on the recipient. The techniques for the preparation of blood components and blood products will also be presented. The entire transfusion path will be analyzed from the moment of donation to the transfusion in terms of quality and safety of the process and the skills and specificities required for a TLB in this specific area will be analyzed.

Teaching methods
The teaching methodology used is participatory, with classroom discussion aimed at inducing the ability to reflect and provides for lectures, in compliance with safety standards, except for further provisions due to the persistence of the health emergency. In this case the lessons will be carried out telepresence (in synchronous-streaming) on the Teams platform. However, both methods will preserve the possibility of interacting in real time with the teacher.
The program and the material will be posted on the Elly platform (https://elly.medicina.unipr.it).
Assessment methods and criteria
Verification of learning includes an oral exam.
The student will be asked questions regarding the topics envisaged by the program in order to verify the level of achievement of the objectives set, through the evaluation of the expository clarity, the adequacy of the terminology, the capacity for reasoning and reflection.
Other information
Attendance to lessons is compulsory (see course regulations)
