Learning objectives
The course aims to enable the student to know, understand and interpret the main laboratory tests.
Prerequisites
Mandatory propedeutic examinations are defined by the Course Cuncil.
Relevant bases of Biochemistry, Physiology, Immunology and General Pathology should be adequately recalled.
Course unit content
The first lessons cover general topics regard to biological materials and preparation of the patient. The second part of the course covers the main laboratory tests and their clinical interpretation.
Full programme
The course will concern the following issues:

Teaching methods
The course will be conducted through interactive lectures in front of the students, with the aid of illustrative material that, at the end of the course, will be made available to students on Elly site at the pages of the course.
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that different instructions are not implemented.
During the lessons we will discuss the issues related to laboratory tests and their interpretation topic will be exposed, encouraging students to ask questions on the basis of references that will be provided.
Assessment methods and criteria
Verification tests in progress will not be carried out. Final assessment will be carried out through oral examination, aiming to evaluate the communication and learning skills of the student, as well as his/her ability to judge the health status of the hypothetical patients.
When required, the exams will be conducted remotely through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact “Il centro accoglienza e inclusione” (https://www.cai.unipr.it/)).
Each student will be asked questions on topics listed in the extended program. The inability to answer a question (or at least ascertained inability to provide a correct definition of the pathological phenomenon subject of the application) will result in not passing the exam.
The student will be evaluated with votes ranging from 0 to 30, with 18 being the lowest vote to positively pass the exam. The final vote will be decided by mutual agreement among the teachers of the integrated course.
