Immunohaematology (RLA_022)
About Study Course
Objective
To prepare laboratory doctors capable of using immunohaematological examination methods using necessary equipment, procedures and observing examination rules. To obtain theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of immunohaematology, to interpret the obtained indicators and to be able to choose further examination tactics. To be able to act, if critical values are obtained. To master internal and external quality control principles in immunohaematology.
