General provisions
The contents and length of the education are regulated by ordinance 2008:1101 in The Swedish Code of Statutes.
The course is primarily given as the first course for conformity education in the biomedical laboratory science programme and consist of theoretical studies and practical proficiency training.
The intention of the course is that the students should acquire the basic biomedical science knowledge including associated methodology that is required for understanding of the continued context of the degree programme and the different professional roles of the biomedical scientist.
Learning outcomes
Skills and abilities
The student should on completion of the course
- be able to understand and apply safety and hygienic as well as routines at laboratory work
- be able to apply basic laboratory methodology including calculations
- compile results of completed analyses orally and in writing in groups
Knowledge and understanding
- be able to present theoretical background of and have trained basic clinical chemical laboratory methodology, physiological methodology, histology and microbiology.
- be able to describe human physiology and cellular construction at a general level
- be familiar with the professional roles of the biomedical scientist
Judgment and approach
- to demonstrate ability for teamwork and co-operation with both fellow students and teachers
- be familiar with scientific working methodology
Content
The theoretical part intends to give a background of biochemical laboratory methodology. The education in laboratory methodology intends to introduce the student to future possible tasks. This is performed through practical components and study visits
Instruction
The teaching is given as lectures, group tuition, laboratory sessions, demonstrations and study visits.
Assessment
Examination takes place partly as an individual written exam, partly as individual practical test and partly as an oral presentation. For the grade Pass, passed seminars and laboratory sessions are furthermore required as well as participation in demonstrations and study visits. Students who have not passed the examination have a right to make 4 additional examination attempts (i.e. 5 examination attempts in total). If special circumstances apply, the programme committee may allow further additional examinations. Each occasion the student participates in an examination is regarded as one examination attempt.
