Clinical analysis

Métodos de ensino

This curricular unit comprises theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. The teaching methodology will be of an expository nature, using the discussion of real exams in an aspect of integrating the notion of reading clinical analysis reports in the context of the main physiological changes. The evaluation will be carried out through a theoretical summative test and a test with interpretation of clinical cases. The evaluation will consist of a 100% frequency, whose formula will consist of a theoretical component with a weighting of 80% and individual work component of 20% (to be delivered on the day of the frequency).

Objetivos de Unidade Curricular

It is intended that the student demonstrates clinical and laboratory knowledge in order to correlate the analytical results with the clinical information of the patients.
Integrate and understand the clinical utility of the different analytical parameters, applying knowledge in the diagnosis and monitoring of different pathologies.
Use medical terminology in interdisciplinary communication.
Evaluate and interpret clinical cases, identify and select the most appropriate analytical profiles for each clinical case.
