•Laboratory practical work

Indication and interpretation of complementary diagnosis studies on infections. Taking and processing of clinical samples for microbiological study. Evaluation, monitoring and follow-up of antibiotic therapy. Immunodiagnostics



MethodologyToggle Navigation

The methodology will include Master Classes (28 classroom hours) in the form of an exhibition class; 12 hours of Classroom Practices where learning based on the resolution of problems and clinical cases, 20 hours of Laboratory Practices; and Seminars (6 classroom hours): Session 1, (3 hours) with completion and presentation of work on a selection of several emerging and reemerging pathogens and the diseases they cause and Session 2, (3 hours) of Practical Class in Clinical Laboratory where the student will come into contact with both the bases of the laboratory microbiological diagnosis and the reality of a clinical microbiology service.

Assessment systemsToggle Navigation

1. Theoretical assessment: exam of 60 multiple-choice with one correct answer. Each correct answer = 1 point, and each wrong answer means that 0.3 points will be subtracted. Unanswered questions will not be penalized. Of the 60 questions, 48 are related to the subject taught in lectures, and they may include notions worked on in practical laboratory sessions. Twelve questions will be about clinical problems worked on and solved in the practical classroom sessions. This exam must be passed to pass the subject as a whole. The marks of the other assessments will not be added if this part of the assessment is no passed.



2. Practical assessment: questions based on images or tests with an overall weight of 15 points. For each incorrect answer one point is subtracted. This mark will be added to the total grade (only if the test is passed). Attendance is compulsory, and this percentage will not be added to the final mark if the student's absence is not sufficiently justified.



3. Furthermore, attendance, active participation, and the presentation and level of correctness of projects all contribute to the final mark. Practical classroom work accounts for 50% of this section and seminars 50% (Session 1, 40% and Session 2, 10%). Presentations (posters or oral) of both kinds of activity will be graded with a maximum 10 points to calculate the overall grade.



Attendance at all programmed activities is compulsory. A lack of active participation of non-compliance of rules will be penalized by subtracting 0.5 points per day of practical work. Failure to attend session 2 (Clinical Microbiology Laboratory simulation) will be penalized with the total value of that session.



If the student does not show up for assessments this will be considered as a withdrawal from the call and will appear as "Not presented".



Students may be assessed under the final assessment (exam) system, regardless of whether they have participated in the continuous assessment system or not. To do this, they should apply in writing to withdraw from continuous assessment within 9 weeks of the start of the term. In this case, they must a sit a multiple-choice exam (only one answer correct) and a practical exam.
