	Objectives
	EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE RATIONALLY THE LABORATORY TEST IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE THE DIAGNOSTIC-THERAPEUTIC PATHWAYS. STUDENTS WILL CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE DIAGNOSTIC METHODOLOGIES AND THE MEANING OF THE CLINICAL RESULTS OBTAINED IN DIFFERENT PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. STUDENT WILL BE ALSO ABLE TO EVALUATE THE ANALYTICAL AND BIOLOGICAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAN LEAD TO A MISINTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS AND TO RELATE THEM TO THE DIFFERENT PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL SITUATIONS TO ARRIVE AT A FINAL MEDICAL DECISION. DUBLIN DESCRIPTORS ACCORDING TO THE DUBLIN DESCRIPTORS, AT THE END OF THE COURSE AND TO PASS THE EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST DEVELOP: • A KNOWLEDGE AND A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE MAIN PROCESSES IN MEDICAL GENETICS, CLINICAL PATHOLOGY AND THE PRE-ANALYTICAL, ANALYTICAL, POST-ANALYTICAL PRINCIPLES OF LABORATORY TECHNIQUES.

	Verification of learning
	EVALUATION PROCESS THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST AIMED AT VERIFYING THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MEDICAL GENETICS AND CLINICAL PATHOLOGY AND OF THE MAIN LABORATORY TECHNIQUES OF DIAGNOSTIC INTERVENTIONS AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES. THE SCORE OF THE ORAL EXAM IS AIMED AT EVALUATING THE THEORETICAL IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE STUDENT. THE MINIMUM MARK IN THE ORAL EXAM IS ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT WHO DEVELOP KNOWLEDGE OF CONCEPTS OF MENDELIAN INHERITANCE, BLOOD COMPOSITION, AND INTERPRETATION OF THE MAIN LABORATORY TESTS. THE MAXIMUM MARK IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES THAT HE CAN CORRECTLY ILLUSTRATE AND DISCUSS THE MAIN TOPICS IN THE PROGRAM WITH THE ABILITY TO ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE CORRECTLY AND WITH A COHERENT LOGICAL ARGUMENT. EXCELLENCE REQUIRES ACHIEVING THE MAXIMUM SCORE IN ALL EXAM MODULES AND HAVING DEMONSTRATED AN EXCELLENT LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPICS AND A STRONG ABILITY TO CORRECTLY APPLY THE METHODOLOGIES DESIGNED TO DETECT CLINICAL, FUNCTIONAL AND LABORATORY RESULTS, ALSO CRITICALLY INTERPRETING THEM FROM A PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW, FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS.
