Course content
The course contains medical laboratory technology and laboratory medicine, within medical biochemistry, clinical pharmacology, medical microbiology (bacteriology, virology, mycology and protozology), pathology (histopathology and cytology) and medical genetics.
Topics:
The use of physical, chemical, enzymatic, immunological and genetic engineering methods on human biological specimen.
Quality control, methods for measurements, laboratory instruments and instrument maintenance.
Light microscopy methods for assessment of body fluids, cells and tissues.
Isolation, detection, identification and antibiotic testing of microorganisms from biological specimen, and detection and identification of viruses.
Pharmacological analysis in therapy control, toxicology and abuse.
Gene technology used in diagnostics, and ethical challenges associated with medical genetics.
Quality assurance, and quality assessment.
Interdisciplinary interaction.
Learning outcome
Based on the chosen teaching methods and chosen topics from the laboratory specialties, the student is expected to acquire new knowledge and skills.
The student can:
Explain and treat different types of human specimen correctly for analysis work.
Perform laboratory work independently, and acquire knowledge about new Methods.
Understand the principles of methods used in medical laboratories.
Assess the possibilities, limitations and sources of error of methods and analysis instruments.
Assess the reliability of laboratory results based on the quality of the specimen, analytical method / instrument and the performance of laboratory procedures.
Combined knowledge of methods, analytical instruments and biological processes in the body, and explain the use of laboratory tests in diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Explain the biological variation, the clinical relevance of the test results and the medical probability.
Explain how quality development and accreditation procedures are done for medical laboratory activities.
Is familiar with the responsibilities that other health professionals have, and know how to cooperate inter-professionally.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Practice studies consisting of 4 laboratory courses, conducted by 2-3 students in groups or individually. Written reports and oral presentations. Afternoon lessons may occur. Parts of the course is taughed by problem-based learning methodology (PBL) with 6 practical and theoretical tasks/cases, one of which is SAMGen. 6-8 students work together in groups. TverrSam (2 days) and TverrPraks (8 hours) is taught together with students from other health professions at NTNU. Estimated work load in the course: 75 theory lessons, 130 hours at the laboratory, 25 hours other activities, 350 hours studies on your own.
Compulsory assignments
- 4 laboratory courses + PBL + TverrSam + TverrPraks
Further on evaluation
Each of the four laboratory courses and the PBL weeks must be approved before the exam. In addition, TverrSam, TverrPraks and SAMGen are mandatory activities.
Further information about the exams will be announced at course start.
New / postponed exam: May/June
If not passed, a single part assessment can be repeated without the other part assessments having to be repeated.
For applications for credits, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be evaluated individually. A reduction of credits (studiepoengsreduksjon) might apply if the candidate has passed exams in overlapping courses.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
Admission to a programme of study is required:
Medical laboratory technology (MTBIO)
Required previous knowledge
The course is restricted and reserved for students at the Bachelor of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences, NTNU, Trondheim. Examination in HBIO104P, Medical laboratory technology 1, must be passed in order to start with this topic.
Course materials
Recommended reading: Literature recommended earlier in the study, and additionally: Nancy A. Brunzel: Fundamentals of Urine and Body Fluid Analysis. Philadelphia, Saunders Company. Last edition.
There might be some adjustments in recommended literature. Any adjustments will be published on Blackboard before the start of the semester
