Course objectives
Specialist practice complements the practical part of education in Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Hematology, Immunohematology and Transfusion medicine, Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Immunology, Clinical Genetics and Pathologic Anatomy – Histopathologic determination methods. Students become familiar with the organization of workflow processes and basic documentation of laboratory worksites and will perform select tasks and activities. Students will mostly come to contact with following topics: Material admission and its division into corresponding laboratories; Basics of media preparing for bacterial culture; Specimen processing for bacteriological examination (urine, throat swab, vaginal swab, sputum, pus, blood culture); Assessment of antibiotic susceptibility using diffusion disc test and microdillution method; Basic serological methods (precipitaion, agglutination, complemetfixing test); Use of ELISA, Westernblot, PCR methods.
