Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The learning stage is a discipline that includes a total of 400 hours divided by eleven weeks and in which the student is intended: - Develop and deepen specific theoretical and practical knowledge in a real work environment (clinical analysis and immunohemotherapy laboratories). - Develop an integrated view of the professional exercise, taking into account all aspects from the reception of patients to the contact with the health authorities, basic logistics (acquisition of reagents, equipment maintenance, etc.). - Develop a professional attitude towards the patient and all the other people you come into contact with in the laboratory environment: administrative staff, technicians, senior technicians, specialists, etc.
Syllabus:
This training constitute a discipline that comprises a total of 400 hours divided for eleven weeks (Monday to Friday -8 hours per day), and which is intended to deepen the student's knowledge and apply new laboratory techniques in real environment professional exercise ie a clinical analysis of a big laboratory. Areas considered mandatory for the formation of the student are: Biochemistry, Hematology, Bacteriology, Immunology and Endocrinolog.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The student will apply the knowledge acquired in the different curricular units and develop his critical spirit in a real work context in the different laboratory areas. This work in real environment allows you to: - Develop and deepen theoretical and practical knowledge in a real environment professional practice (clinical laboratory and anatomo-pathology) . - Develop an integrated vision of professional practice, learning all aspects ranging from the reception of patients, contact with health authorities, and basic logistics (purchase of reagents, equipment maintenance, etc.). - Develop a professional attitude to the patient and all other persons with whom contact in laboratory environment: administrative, technical, senior technicians, specialists, etc..
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The evaluation regime will be continuous. The internship is a curricular unit that includes a total of 400 hours divided by eleven weeks (Monday to Friday - 7 hours per day - and Saturday - 5 hours). The workload will be distributed among the different laboratory areas.The student should prepare the internship report and make a public defense of the work done during the internship. The internship report should be accompanied by the evaluation grid of the internship advisor. The final classification of the curricular unit of Clinical Practice II will include a joint reflection with the internship advisor and the supervisor of the internship.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The continuous evaluation of the internship, the oral presentation and defense of the work done allow to verify the knowledge and skills acquired by students.
