Recommended Optional Programme Components
Course DescriptionFirstly, it is aimed to introduce students to the rational use of drugs, theoretical knowledge and practical applications of clinical biochemistry, pathology and microbiology laboratories, to teach basic topics in these fields and to gain the ability to examine clinical findings and laboratory resultsbasic topics of medical biochemistry, pathology and microbiology and teach all laboratory procedures. It is planned to provide basic information in these areas with a training program that includes theoretical lessons and laboratory practices.
Course Contents
TOPICS
1. The duration of the clinical course is 3 weeks. The training has been created with topics in pharmacology, microbiology, biochemistry and pathology. The details of these main topics and lessons are given below.
2. This training includes features and general operation of laboratories as well as rational drug use. In addition, biosecurity and security measures to be taken in the laboratory are conveyed. Graduates are expected to be able to understand clinical laboratory practices, to interpret the laboratory results by making the required test request.
