The traineeship path is divided by sectors in periods of between two and five weeks. Before the professional training period, students must acquire 1 CFU of laboratory preparatory to the apprenticeship with obligatory presence. Acquire knowledge and practical skills related to clinical chemistry, microbiology, immunometry, bacteriology, mycobacteriology, histology and cytology techniques. TEACHING METHODS Learning activities of specialized laboratory techniques with compulsory attendance of 100% of the planned hours of the laboratories and direct learning through the use of tools with the guidance of professionals belonging to the same Professional Profile. There are no hours of individual study.
