The elective course aims to familiarize students with all potential sources of errors that affect the accuracy of laboratory test results, whether performed in a laboratory or on POC devices.
Through lectures, students will learn the fundamentals of proper patient preparation, correct sampling techniques, appropriate sample transport, result interpretation, recognition of interferences, and corrective actions when interferences are present.
The seminars for this elective course are designed to take place within the laboratory, where laboratory samples will be analyzed. Additionally, seminars will include independent student work in a 10-minute presentation on a topic covered in the lectures.
1. Describe the diagnostic approach and diagnostic workup of the patient.
2. Explain biological variations and their impact on the biochemical composition of body fluids.
3. Relate the type of container to the sample for laboratory testing.
4. Compile a list of all potential preanalytical errors.
5. Demonstrate patient preparation for individual laboratory tests.
6. Distinguish preanalytical error and/or interference from pathological findings.
7. Categorize laboratory tests according to urgency.
8. Compare the results obtained with reference intervals, critical values, and the patient's health status.
9. Analyze the results obtained on POC devices.

1. Regular class attendance (at least 80% attendance)
2. Properly completed seminar obligations
Continuous evaluation of student work through:
1. Teaching activities: 10-minute seminar presentation
2. Final exam (written)
Continuous evaluation of student work in addition to regular class attendance (which is a requirement for taking the exam), adding points for active participation in seminars and the results of the written exam result in an overall grade as follows: sufficient (2): 60-69 points; good (3): 70-79 points; very good (4): 80-89 points; excellent (5): 90-100 points.
