Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
The Clinical Laboratory Biochemistry aims to provide students with the knowledge about biochemical parameters associated with the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prevention of the disease, know the methodologies that can be used in qualitative and quantitative evaluation of biochemical parameters most used in routine laboratory.
This Unit intends to develop a set of skills that allow the students to execute the different methodologies for biochemical analyses, interpret the Clinical Report and recognize the laboratorial findings for the different pathologies, in order to develop reasoning skills that complement their technical and interpretative competences.

Teaching Methods
The teaching-learning process will be based on the individual work and supported by theoretical-practical and practical classes. Theoretical-practical laboratory classes will be articulated with laboratory practical component and continuously evaluated based on attendance, planning of experimental work and interpretation and discussion of the results obtained.
Theoretical-practical component can be assessed by continuous assessment, with 2 written tests, or by final exam (40%). The practical laboratory component (NPL) will be continuously evaluated based on the students' attendance, laboratory results and applied study cases (40%) and will be complemented by the elaboration of a research work on a relevant topic in this area (20%).
