Objective
Students are familiar with the principles of immunochemical analysis methods and their use in clinical chemistry. Students know the physiological background of examinations in clinical chemistry, their clinical significance and indications for examinations and know how to use their knowledge in clinical chemistry analyses. Students know the measures of quality management in biochemistry and know the principles of using automation, and the phases of validating the analysis results. Students know how to apply the principles of evidence-based laboratory medicine in routine practice.
