Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the information and the scientific supports for a correct methodological approach that develops the knowledge and the necessary understanding of the topics of Clinical Biochemistry to allow a correct approach to the application aspects, specific to the student of the Bachelor Degree in Techniques Of biomedical laboratory. The acquired skills will allow to understand the complexity of biological samples, their variability, and the critical steps associated with their treatment and conservation. This will allow you to recognize the possible sources of error and apply the appropriate remedies.

Prerequisites

There is no mandatory propedeuticity, but considering that Clinical Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary subject, the student should have the basic concepts of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Course unit content

The course includes integration between the disciplines of Biochemistry, Instrumental Biochemistry and General Clinical Biochemistry.

Full programme
