AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquire practical skills inherent in a basic laboratory: management of biological samples, treatments, conservation, manual and IT acceptance management of automatic sorting systems, use of LIS systems use and management of blood coagulation analyzers, microscopy. The anthropology of health has the objective of making known the connection between the concepts of health, environment and care by combining the medical-biological needs with the numerous cultural solicitations that act before and during the disease. The acquisition of an "anthropological gaze" also allows us to give due consideration to the non-biological determinants of the disease.

It then explores the theme of communication and its relations with the healthcare organization that produces health.
