Study Guide

Objective

Specimen collection and POC testing (2,0 cr): The student can collect various clinical specimens. Students learn to work in a client-centred way.
Clinical chemistry I (2,0 cr): Students are able to use and maintain laboratory equipments. The student knows how to handle chemicals and prepare a reagent. The student can determine the concentration of the analyte with a spectrophotometer.
Clinical physiology (1,0 cr): Students are able to independently carry out technically high quality ECG registrations and can carry out independently and flawlessly PEF examinations. Students know how to work ergonomically and in a patient-safe manner.
Clinical microbiology (2,0 cr): Students know how to obtain a high quality specimen, rehearse the use of microbe cultivation and identification methods and train their skills in interpreting the results. Students know how to work abiding by the occupational health instructions of the microbiology laboratory.
Clinical haematology (3,0 cr): Students can independently prepare a technically high quality blood film and know mature, healthy blood cells. Students know how to work with microscopes independently.

Content

Students work in laboratory, rehearse specimen collection and interpersonal and communication skills when encountering a patient. Students work in clinical chemistry, microbiological, physiological and hematology laboratories following quality standards and safety laboratory practices.

Content scheduling

GENERAL INFO:
Practices will be carried out in teaching laboratories under supervision. You work independently, in pairs or in small groups. We practice how to work in a clinical laboratory environment and apply what we have learned in theory. PARTICIPATION IN THE LABORATORY PRACTICES IS MANDATORY. Absences must always be reported to the teacher and a way to compensate for the absence must be agreed upon.

HEMATOLOGY I:
Blood cell production: erythropoiesis, granulocytopoiesis, thrombopoiesis, lymphopoiesis, monocytopoiesis. Function of the coagulation system: primary haemostasis, secondary haemostasis and fibronolytic system.
Laboratory tests: Complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, MGG staining, preparation and evaluation of peripheral blood smear and basic laboratory diagnostics to evaluate the function of the coagulation system.
Microscope image formation and the use of a microscope.
