Clinical pathology

Biomedical Laboratory Sciences
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The Clinical Pathology curricular unit most often uses laboratory tests of body fluids, such as blood and urine, compared to the pathological anatomy, which uses tissue examination. Students will have the opportunity to understand the four major disciplines in Clinical Pathology: Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank / Transfusion Medicine and Microbiology. Additionally they will have the opportunity to address the area of immunology. In all these areas, students will be encouraged to participate in various formative dynamics, such as discussion of clinical cases. In the end, the student should be familiar with the proper use and interpretation of laboratory tests, the role of the clinical and public health technician, as well as recognize current technology and state-of-the-art equipment used in laboratory tests.
