BIOB2400 Patophysiology and Laboratory Diagnostics Course description

Two internal sensors.;External sensor is used regularly.

None beyond admission requirements.

The course is equivalent (overlaps 5 credits) with: DAFE1200, ITPE1200, ADTS1200, LO136A, LO136D and LO136I.

The course consists of the following subject areas, specified below as the number of credits:

• Pathophysiology and laboratory diagnostics, 7 credits
• Interprofessional communication and interaction, 3 credits

Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, group assignments, in-depth assignment and project work.

The teaching methods the flipped classroom and team-based learning (TBL) are used for parts of the course. Digital learning resources or group assignments will be made available to students in advance, and the time they spend at the university will be used to work on assignments and group work. Seminars are held in connection with an in-depth assignment where the groups address different cases within laboratory medicine and give an oral presentation of their own assignment.

The interdisciplinary project is carried out in groups including students from other health science programmes, for example supervision of blood sample collection. A course in supervision will be organised before the project. The project is carried out in the fourth semester.

In order to be permitted to take the exam, the following must have been approved:

• Part 1, one mandatory seminar with oral presentation of in-depth assignment
• Part 2, a minimum of 80 per cent attendance in scheduled project work
• Part 2, a completed course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of a defibrillator

Combined assessment:

• Part 1 - Pathophysiology and laboratory diagnostics: Supervised individual written exam, 3 hours
• Part 2 - Interprofessional project work: Written report from project in groups of 3-5 students, 1,500-2,500 words. The report is submitted at the end of the project.

Students must pass both parts of the exam to pass the course.

Resit exam: If the student(s) is(are) awarded a fail in one part of the exam, this part must be retaken. Groups that fail Part 2 (project work) are given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.

Part 1: No aids are permitted.

Part 2: All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Part 1: A-F.

Part 2: Pass/fail

Part 1: All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

Part 2: All answers are assessed by one examiner. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.
