Prerequisites
bachelor's studies focused on laboratory medicine or natural sciences
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The aim of the theoretical part of the preparation is to provide detailed information on methodologies using the latest knowledge of the field with respect to the current state of routine application of new techniques and technologies. Fundamentals of indication and interpretation of laboratory methods in relation to clinical units and diagnoses. In the practical part of the training, gain practical skills of such a magnitude that allow the graduate to be easily assigned to clinical laboratory teams;
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: actively assess the correctness of indication and interpretation of biochemical laboratory examination; to reliably detect and respond to instances of interference; communicate appropriately with clinicians; to respond appropriately to outlier findings; to have an overview of the used analytical principles and to know their limits; to follow standard analytical, technical and logistical operations.
Syllabus
  • Laboratory sample reception and identification of biological material - paper and electronic requests, bar codes, readers and bar code printers
  • Laboratory Information System - individual LIS modules, on-line and off-line communication methods, pipetting sheets, print assemblies and outputs, system of controls, supervision, reports of performance, monitoring of the economy
