Course content
The following topics will be presented in lectures to guide laboratory work and groupwork: Quality and sustainability in work processes, quality management of laboratory practices, quality controls, validation of methods, procedures, revision of laboratory practices, reference values, statistical testing and use of statistical functions and tools in Excel.
Central theories/perspectives in the humanities and social sciences with primary focus on sustainability and values in health care.
Learning outcome
After completing the course, the student should:
- Know about quality-improving (quality management) and sustainable work processes.
- Know how laboratory operations are quality-assessed through certification systems and accreditation schemes.
- Be familiar with IVDR and risk assessments of laboratory operations.
- Have knowledge of, and be able to reflect upon the use of, quality management systems to ensure reliable analytical results in medical laboratories.
- Know how protocols are developed and revised in accredited medical laboratories.
- Be able to evaluate results from various analysis based on current quality requirements.
- Be able to make professional decisions that promote sustainability and HSE, and strive to choose materials, equipment, and procedures (protocols) that reduce the use of resources without compromising the quality of the results.
- Be able to plan and carry out varied tasks within the field of biomedical laboratory sciences, including those which are carried out over a period of time.
- Be able to document and disseminate knowledge within the field of biomedical laboratory sciences through oral and written presentations.
- Be able to reflect critically on one's own professional practice and values, acquire new knowledge and seek and receive tutoring.
Learning methods and activities
Students' total effort is estimated to be 200 hours, consisting of lectures (30 hours), mandatory laboratory activities (20 hours), practice in statistics (8 hours) and self study (142 hours). There will also be written and oral presentations.
Compulsory assignments
- Laboratory course- Validation of methodsOblig
- Laboratory course- Quality revision
- Exercises in statistics
Further on evaluation
The written exam is evaluated with the A-F grading scale. Two laboratory courses (including written and oral assessments) and four written exercises in statistics must be approved in order to be eligible for the final written exam. Approved calculators: HP30S, Citizen SR270, Citizen SR270X, Casio fx-82/83ES, Casio fx-82ES PLUS, MATH MI-633 DOT MATRIX DISPLAY, Texas BAII Plus, Casio fx-82-MS, Aurora Scientific Calculator fc582, Texas TI30XIIB/S og Casio fx-82 EX.
New / postponed exam: August; oral examination can be used.
For applications for credits, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be evaluated individually. A reduction of credits (studiepoengsreduksjon) may apply if the candidate has passed exams in overlapping courses.
