Course objectives
CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY; The goal of the theoretical preparation part is to provide detailed information about methods that utilize the latest knowledge in the field with regard to the contemporary level of routine use of new procedures and technologies. The basics of indication and interpretation of laboratory procedures with regard to clinical units and diagnoses. In the practical preparation part, the goal is to gain practical skills on a level that will allow the graduates to easily be included in clinical laboratory work teams.; CLINICAL HEMATOLOGY; This course includes information about the origin, development, structure and function of the system of hematopoietic cells and organs as well as of the blood clotting system. Both of them are described not only in health but also during various diseases inherited and acquired. Students will receive information summarizing pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical and mainly laboratory findings in hematologic diseases and laboratory assays serving for treatment’s maintenance. The knowledge will allow students to interpret results obtained during hematological laboratory examination for diagnosis establishing and/or for differential diagnose.; IMMUNOHAEMATOLOGY AND TRANSFUSION SERVICE; The aim of theoretical part of education in immunohaematology is given to understand separate laboratory procedures principles which are currently used in immunohaematology and acquirement of knowledge in relation to its application in laboratory praxis. The accent is putting on ability of separate laboratory results interpretation and/or group laboratory results interpretation to clinical patient hood. Professional theoretical training in HLA covers laboratory testing HLA complex and laboratory results interpretation in relation to solid organs transplant strategy and in relation to strategy of bone marrow donors registry as far as laboratory results interpretation in relation to immunized patients. Theoretical part of education of transfusion service covers background and principles of good manufacturing praxis in preparation, use and quality assurance of transfusion products (allogeneic, autologous) and plasma for fractionation, including quality management and process control, personnel and organisation, equipment and materials, documentation, donor selection, processing, storage and distribution, quality monitoring, quality control, contract management, deviations, complaints, corrective and preventive actions, self inspection, audits and improvement, data processing systems, record keeping, statistical process control, background of safe haemotherapy, principles of haemovigilance system, including types of adverse reactions description and its reporting.; A student will demonstrate the following upon completing the course: Complex theoretical knowledge from the fields of clinical biochemistry, hematology, immunohematology and transfusion service, immunology, microbiology, genetics and pathology;
