Learning objectives
This teaching aims to make the student acquire the main theoretical notions, relating to analysis techniques, considered indispensable to facilitate the understanding and acquisition of professional skills which he will experience during the first internship in a laboratory of clinical biochemistry analysis.
Have passed the examination of basic biomedical laboratory techniques.
Prerequisites
Having passed the Biomedical Laboratory Basic Diagnostic Methods examination.
Course unit content
This teaching module involves learning the main basic techniques used in clinical pathology laboratories, taking up the concepts of pre-analytical variability and absorption techniques (spectrophotometry), followed by the acquisition of the theoretical concepts needed to deal with other analytical techniques.
Full programme
Learning theoretical skills related to the understanding and subsequent application of the main analytical techniques used in clinical pathology laboratories (review of techniques based on light absorption, study of emission and dispersion techniques, including: spectrophotometric chromatographic, fluorimetric, turbidimetric, nephelometric, electrophoretic and immunochemical techniques).

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.
Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination in which the student will be asked questions relating to the topics covered during the lessons, aimed at verifying the degree of understanding of the concepts, the use of correct terminology and the ability to reflect and reason acquired
Other information
Attendance at lessons is mandatory (see course regulations)
