Learning unit contents

Clinical biology includes 4 different disciplines, the introduction will be done by 4 professors:
Clinical Microbiology (Marie-Pierre Hayette)
- Description of the different tasks - missions of a clinical microbiology laboratory and the organizational mode. - The best strategies to use appropriately the laboratory and the limited available ressources. - The mostly used analytical methods are shortly described, including the quality assurance background. - The worldwide problem of the increased of emerging multi-resistances to antimicrobial agents among bacteria and the major role of the laboratory for their detection. - Towards tomorow microbiology and automation - Management of biosecurity regarding handling of pathogenic microorganims.
Clinical chemistry (Etienne Cavalier)
- Description of the different methods used in the laboratory
- Elements of interpretation of clinical chemistry results
Hematology (André Gothot)
During this part, the main cytology and coagulation analyses are reviewed.
Clinical toxicology (Corinne Charlier)
In the course, the main tasks of the Toxicology department are presented and the main reasons to ask for a therapeutic monitoring are described and explained.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Clinical Microbiology (MP Hayette)
At the end of this course, students will be

able to describe the different tasks - missions of a clinical microbiology laboratory and the organizational mode.
able to give clear and structured information towards the rational choice of analytical efforts within a cost-effective background for health policy.
able to understand and to explain the main used analytical methods within a quality assurance background.
aware of the increased of emerging multi-resistances to antimicrobial agents hapenning among bacteria and of the major role of the laboratory for their detection.
able to provide a short overview of the expected evolution in microbiology and automation
aware of the biosecurity needs and how to manage handling of pathogenic microorganims.
Clinical chemistry (Etienne Cavalier)
At the end of this course, students will be able to understand how the differents methods work in clinical chemistry laboratory. They will be able to interpret
Hematology (André Gothot)

At the end of this course, students will be able to understand:

the principles of cytology and coagulation tests
their interpretation in different clinical contexts
the methodology used to set up a validation report
Clinical toxicology (Corinne Charlier)

Student needs to understand the reasons why bioavailabilty of therapeutuc drugs can vary from each other but also from time to time for a same person.
He will be able to understand the main role of therapeutic monitoring.
