| Contents | Knowledge necessary to understand the process of production of laboratory data for its critical interpretation. Basic concepts of analytical variability and biological variation, pre-analytical phase, reference values and quality control. Basic concepts of the most used techniques. Point-of-Care testing; Biochemical markers of function or damage of tissues or organs in different animal species. |

| Educational objectives | The oral exam certifies the knowledge of the meaning and the interpretation ability of clinical laboratory data. In particular, students have to reach an adequate knowledge and ability to use of the simplest methods for acquisition of laboratory data and understand the contribution that laboratory diagnostic techniques can make in achieving a diagnosis. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follow: - Lectures (26 hours) on all subjects of the course - n° 2 laboratory exercises (overall 4 hours) will be done at the teaching lab (basement of the main building) for the knowledge/solution of basic problems regarding clinical chemistry lab. Students will be divided into groups (maximum 20 students per group). |
| Other information | On-line availability of the material used by the teacher for lessons The teacher becomes available (by prior arrangement) even outside of official office hours (Tues and Thurs 13-14) for explanations about the topics of the program. |

| Educational objectives | The main goal of education is to provide students with the foundation to address the study and knowledge of the main laboratory parameters are designed to veil diseases of organ and to learn to grasp the clinical significance in relation to various diseases. The main skills are: knowledge about the sampling procedure and storage of various materials knowledge related to laboratory parameters such as markers of organ function, in different animal species The main skills are: perform surveys in specialized laboratories analyze the data coming from the different samples interpret data to identify diseases of organ and to address a differential diagnosis |
