The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning objectives

The student will have to acquire general knowledge about the organization of the National Health Service and the Analysis Laboratory, the physiopathological principles and laboratory tests for diagnosis, monitoring and therapeutic monitoring of the main human pathologies, the aspects of pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical laboratory, with specific reference to the principles, analytical techniques and instrumentation used in the biomedical laboratory.

BIOCHIMIICA CLINICA: 1. Organization of the National Health Service and Laboratory Analysis; 2. Knowledge of the principles and pathophisiology of laboratory tests of the major diseases, with particular reference to cardiovascular, thromboembolic and neoplastic disease; 3. Aspects of pre-analytical , analytical and post-analytical quality

VALUTAZIONE E CONTROLLO DELLA QUALITA' DEI SERVIZI DIAGNOSTICI: the course allows the student to acquire basic notions regarding the evaluation of quality control processes in diagnostic services. The course provides the student with the cognitive and methodological tools necessary for the verifi-cation of technical-analytical processes, especially in the management of the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases. In particular, attention will be paid to the meaning of validation and verification of a analytical methods in clinical biochemistry, implementation of analytical goals and objectives for a continuous im-provement of the diagnostic service offered. The course allows the student to understand the meaning of: - Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), - Validation and verification of a clinical biochemical methods. -Procedure for implementation and maintenance of a Certification System according to the ISO 9001 standard - Accreditation of clinical laboratories, according to ISO Standard 15189 - knowledge of CLSI documents (Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute) - definition of an indicator for monitoring the performance of pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical procedures.

METODI E TECNICHE DI BIOCHIMICA CLINICA: the student must know the chemical-physical principles at the base of the main analytical techniques used in the Biomedical Laboratory, with particular regard to the relative instrumentation and fundamental technical characteristics.

TECNOLOGIE STRUMENTALI AUTOMATIZZATE: Clinical Biochemistry Analysis: Technological evolution from manual tests to automatic integrated systems. During the course the main methodological principles of the automated instruments in use in the clinical biochemistry laboratories will be described, with attention to the evaluation of the process indicators for a correct management of the analytical objectives.

DIAGNOSTICA DI LABORATORIO POINT OF CARE:

Prerequisites and basic notions

Knowledge of Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Pathology, evaluation of the main parameters for the evaluation of the quality of an analytical method

Learning assessment procedures

A test may be given in the form of oral, written, open-ended or multiple-choice, practical exercise or preparation of a paper. This test shall cover all topics included/executed within the programs of the component modules of the teaching.

Evaluation criteria

The assessment elements that contribute to the awarding of the grade are:
knowledge and the ability to understand,
the ability to apply knowledge,
autonomy of judgment, that is, the ability to make critical sense and formulate judgments,
the ability to communicate.

In evaluating the individual tests and awarding the grade, the teaching teachers refer to the following scale for assessing learning.
Lower than 18 : Fragmentary and superficial knowledge of content, errors in applying concepts, poor exposition
18 - 20 : Sufficient but general content knowledge, simple exposition, uncertainties in applying theoretical concepts
21 - 23 : Appropriate but not thorough content knowledge, ability to apply theoretical concepts, ability to present content in a simple way
24 - 25 : Appropriate and extensive content knowledge, fair ability to apply knowledge, ability to present content in an articulate manner.
26 - 27 : Content knowledge accurate and complete, good ability to apply knowledge, ability to analyze, clear and correct exposition
28 - 29 : Broad, complete and thorough knowledge of content, good application of content, good ability to analyze and synthesize, confident and correct exposition,
30 or 30 cum laude : Very broad, complete and in-depth content knowledge, well-established ability to apply content, excellent ability to analyze, synthesize and make interdisciplinary connections, mastery of exposition.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The assessment of learning outcomes involves a written test. This test consists of answering multiple-choice quizzes in order to assess knowledge of the topics in the program and analytical and argumentative skills.
