AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The training objectives of the professionalizing laboratory are the introduction and presentation of the laboratory disciplines that students must acquire in the year of enrollment before the start of the curricular internship at the affiliated bodies, divided between the various teachers specialized in the individual disciplines and after lectures relating to the specific discipline.

The Preparatory Laboratory of the first year of the Biomedical Laboratory Techniques course aims to teach students some basic notions as well as carrying out some tests independently. Attendance of the preparatory workshop is compulsory and takes place before the beginning of the first year internship.

The foreseen hours are 25 for a total of 1 ECTS
