Objective

Clinical chemistry II (5,0 cr): Students rehearse using automated analyzers in clinical chemistry and know how to apply their skills in the assessment of biochemical examination results, the errors dependent on the specimen and the reliable function of the analyzers. Students know how to work according to the quality manual and the instructions in place. Students can identify the phases of pre-analytics, analytics and post-analytics in clinical chemistry work.
Clinical haematology II (2,0 cr): Students know immature blood cells and can assess the alterations which are seen in the blood count in connection with blood diseases. Students can identify findings in an aberrant blood film.
Immunohaematology (2,0 cr): Students know how to use the equipment for blood transfusion serology examinations and can, under supervision, carry out basic examinations in blood transfusion serology. Students know how to independently get results for blood type determination analyses.
Pathology (3,0 cr): Students know the handling process of a histological specimen in the laboratory. Students master the tissue embedding technique, the tissue sectioning and the use of a microtome. Students are familiarised with immunohistochemical staining, they can identify the tissue components and know how to carry out histological and cytological staining and make a cytocentrifuge preparate. Students can tell apart benign cell changes from normal findings.
