Karakter for hver eksamen fremkommer i sluttdokumentasjon separat.

Rettigheter og plikter ved eksamen

Studentenes rettigheter og plikter ved eksamen framgår av forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet. Forskriften beskriver blant annet vilkår for ny/utsatt eksamen, klageadgang og hva som regnes som fusk ved eksamen. Kandidaten har plikt til å gjøre seg kjent med bestemmelsene i forskriften.

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

Knowledge

The student

• can describe how blood banks produce, control and store blood products such as erythrocyte concentraeste, thrombocyte concentrates and plasma
• can describe how different blood products are used in the treatment of patients
• can describe which blood type systems, blood types and blood type antibodies are important in connection with transfusions, and in relation to hematological diseases in newborns
• can describe the principles of basic blood type serology laboratory investigations
• can describe causal mechanisms of diseases in babies and newborns due to blood type antibodies and thrombocyte antibodies
• can describe complications that can arise following transfusion
• can describe causal mechanisms relating to hemolytic transfusion reactions
• can explain the principles of different immunological methods and describing the various methods’ areas of use, possibilities and limitations
• can explain how relevant methods and analyses can be quality assured
• is familiar with laboratory analyses conducted in connection with transplantation and stem cell treatment
• is familiar with the laws and regulations that regulate the blood banks in Norway

Skills

The student

• can gather information about who can be a blood donor in Norway and how donors are selected in the blood bank
• can select and take blood from a donor under supervision
• masters basic blood type serology laboratory investigations and can assess the significance of the analysis results
• can conduct and quality assure different immunological methods and assess any sources of errors related to these

General competence

The student

• can identify and discuss ethical issues in the field of transfusion medicine and medical immunology
• can care for, respect and cooperate with fellow students, colleagues and patients/blood donors regardless of their ethnic, religious and cultural background

Work and teaching methods include lectures, assignments and laboratory work in blood type serology, immune hematology, medical immunology and transplantation immunology. The course includes five days’ external practical training at a blood bank. The students create a digital story about the practical training week after its conclusion.

Digital learning resources are made available for students before the laboratory teaching. The time in the laboratory is therefore generally not used to demonstrate how to solve the assignments.

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

• a minimum of 90 per cent attendance in laboratory teaching
• a minimum of 90 per cent attendance in external practical training at a blood bank
• a minimum of 80 per cent attendance in scheduled group work
• individual digital story from the practical training in the blood bank, approx. duration 5 minutes

Supervised individual written exam, 4 hours

Handed out antigram

A–F.

All exam papers are assessed by two examiners. A minimum of twenty per cent of the exam papers will be assessed by an external examiner. The external examiner’s assessment shall benefit all students.
