BIO3100 Transfusion and Transplantation Course description

(Gjelder opptak til kun dette emnet)

Opptakskravet er generell studiekompetanse eller tilsvarende realkompetanse og opptaksprøve.

Opptaksprøven prøver kandidatens funksjonelle ferdigheter i norsk og tolkespråket. Statsautoriserte tolker er direkte kvalifisert for opptak. Statsautoriserte translatører og fagoversettere avlegger muntlig opptaksprøve.

Det tilbys opptaksprøver på utvalgte språk ved hvert opptak. Det er et begrenset antall plasser i hver språkgruppe. Dersom det er flere søkere enn tilgjengelige studieplasser, rangeres søkerne etter resultat på opptaksprøven. Statsautoriserte tolker har førsteprioritet på de språk som tilbys.

Kompetanse

Bestått eksamen i emnet Tolking i offentlig sektor kvalifiserer for oppføring i Nasjonalt tolkeregister kategori 3 («tolk med tolkeutdanning»). Emnet danner grunnlag for opptak til videre påbyggingsemner i faget tolking ved Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus.

Emnet inneholder fire temakretser:

1. Yrkesetikk og profesjonskunnskap: tolkens ansvarsområde i offentlig sektor, yrkesetikken og dens menneskerettslige grunnlag, profesjonalitet og profesjonsutvikling.
2. Tolkens plass i kommunikasjonen: den institusjonelle samtalen og tolkens plass i denne, tolketeknikk og metodevalg; kultur og maktrelasjoner i institusjonelle samtaler generelt og i tolkede samtaler spesielt.
3. Tolkens verktøy: språk som fenomen, kommunikasjonsmiddel og verktøy; språklige registre og språklige nyanser; utvikling og vedlikehold av tospråklige ferdigheter.
4. Spesifikk kontekstkunnskap fra et utvalg fagområder i offentlig sektor som grunnlag for tolkens utvikling av strategier i tilegnelsen av stadig ny kontekstkunnskap og terminologi i norsk og tolkespråket.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

• describing which blood type systems, blood types and blood type antibodies are important in connection with transfusions, and in relation to hematological diseases in newborns
• describing the principles of basic blood type serology laboratory investigations
• describing causal mechanisms of diseases in babies and newborns due to blood type antibodies and thrombocyte antibodies
• describing complications that can arise following transfusion
• describing causal mechanisms relating to hemolytic transfusion reactions
• demonstrating knowledge of laboratory analyses conducted in connection with transplantation and stem cell treatment
• demonstrating knowledge of methods and laws relating to sperm donation, egg donation and in vitro fertilisation
• demonstrating knowledge of the laws and regulations that regulate the blood banks in Norway

Skills

The students take part in interdisciplinary cooperation focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as a method of thinking in healthcare.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum of 90% attendance in laboratory work and practical training at a blood bank
• a minimum of 80% attendance in scheduled group work
• digital story from the practical training at a blood bank, approx. 5 minutes
• attendance at Innovation Camp, or approved equivalent assignment*

*Students who attend Innovation Camp in the elective course BIO3000 International Public Health are exempt from the requirement
