Main goals of the course are:
i) to provide an overview of the activities of a clinical laboratory looking at the organizational context and current business;
ii) to illustrate the various stages which are at the basis of main analytical methods, either molecular or biochemical, used in biomedical laboratories for modern diagnostic purposes;
iii) to provide the key of interpretation for the obtained results from a pathophysiological point of view.
To promote a critical approach towards laboratory diagnosis.

During the course, students will be required to actively participate by preparing and presenting a pathology using PowerPoint, accompanied by the clinical analyses necessary for its diagnosis and prognosis. The topics will be proposed by the teacher and assigned at the beginning of the course, so that students can gradually acquire the theoretical foundations necessary to structure their presentations. The presentations will take place in the classroom and will be an integral part of the assessment. At the end of the course, it will also be possible to take a written exam, the grade for which will be included in the average together with the grade obtained for the presentation. The written exam, lasting two hours, will include three open-ended questions and fifteen multiple-choice questions. If the student has not participated in the presentation or the final written exam, they may take the exam orally on the dates set by the instructor. The final grade will be based on the following parameters: a) Appropriateness, correctness, and consistency of the knowledge and skills acquired; b) Appropriate use of the specific language of the discipline; c) Expressive ability; d) Logical ability; e) Ability to synthesize; f) Ability to connect different topics. Consequently, the assessment may be: a) Sufficient (18 to 20/30) b) Fair (21 to 23) c) Good (24 to 26) d) Very good (27 to 29) e) Excellent (30) Honors are awarded to candidates who are clearly above average and whose any limitations in terms of knowledge, expression, concepts, or logic are, on the whole, completely irrelevant.
