- Use a range of methods and analytical instruments commonly used in medical laboratories and understand how the instruments work.
- Explain the impact of preanalytical influence on a range of analytical results.
- Assess the quality of analytical results according to given rules and reflect on their own professional practice.
- Explain the use of nuclear medical methods.
- Find, evaluate and follow current guidelines for protection against radiation.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and 4 lab courses, including written and oral assessments. Expected total workload: Lectures: 35 hrs. Lab courses: 45 hrs. Self study: 130 hrs.
Compulsory assignments
- Four laboratory courses
Further on evaluation
Four laboratory courses, including written and oral assessments, must be approved in order to be eligible for the final written exam. Approved calculator: HP30S, Citizen SR270, Citizen SR270X, Casio fx-82/83ES, Casio fx-82ES PLUS, MATH MI-633 DOT MATRIX DISPLAY, Texas BAII Plus, Casio fx-82-MS, Aurora Scientific Calculator fc582, Texas TI30XIIB/S og Casio fx-82 EX.
New / postponed exam: August. For new / postponed exams, the examination can be changed from written to oral.
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.
