Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Seminars on microbiology and infectiology

Supplement of clinical microbiology through clinical cases.
Specific lectures covering pathologies not described during the first year (Tropical diseases, rare diseases, other).

Seminars on hematology

Hematology is the study of cellular and molecular elements of the blood. The course is dedicated to the physiopathology of hematological illnesses and the laboratory tests used for their diagnosis.

Seminars on medicamentous toxicology

Specific cursus on chromatographic methods in a clinical, forensic and environmental toxicology department.
The students will stay for a 2 - 3 monthes in the lab and participate to technical validations, protocol signatures, etc....

Biostatistics II

This course is the second part of the teaching of Biostatistics at the Faculty of Medicine. It addresses more advanced statistical methods, such as one-way and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), contingency tables,  non-parametric statistical techniques, survival analysis, sampling method and principal components analysis.
Each lesson consists of a theoretical exposition of the method followed by a session of practical applications with R software, where the student will get used to solve statistical problems encountered in daily practice.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Seminars on microbiology and infectiology

At the end of the course, the future specialist will be able to

  • discuss clinical presentation and propose appropriate diagnostic analysis
  • interpret the results of microbiological analysis and provide relevant comments.

Seminars on hematology

1. physiology of hematopoiesis and normal blood cells
2. pathology of red blod cells
3. pathology of white blood cells
4. pathology of platelets
5. hemostasis and coagulation

Biostatistics II

The course is intended to improve and enhance the use of biostatistics in health sciences, by insisting on statistical reasoning and problem solving rather than on the mathematics and the complexity of formula. Students should be able to carry out an in-depth statistical analysis of a dataset resulting from an experiment or a survey, in particular with respect to the thesis they will prepare later on in their cursus.

  • The  Cumitech series provides consensus recommendations regarding the judicious use of clinical microbiology and immunology laboratories and their role in patient care. Each Cumitech is written by a team of clinicians, laboratorians, and other interested stakeholders to provide a broad overview of various aspects of infectious disease testing. These aspects include a discussion of relevant clinical considerations; collection, transport, processing and interpretive guidelines; the clinical utility of culture-based and non-culture-based methods and emerging technologies; They are edited and published by the ASM.
