Subject's extra information

Biomedical Science students have coursework entitled Instrumental Techniques, which has the following goals:

Familiarity with biomedical research methodologies.

Knowledge and facility using instruments involved in Biomedical research

To acquire these skills, students must do two internships of one month each, at research centres, biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, technical science services, hospital and university research laboratories, genetic diagnostic laboratories, hospital and private clinic blood banks and clinical and pathology laboratories.

During their internship at the centre, institution or company, the student must collaborate, as a support technician, to apply the work methodology related to the group’s research. The goal of the activity is that the student learns laboratory techniques used in biomedical research.

After each rotation:

 

The student’s paper must include:

The Tutor’s report should include (We will send a template for this report)

Learning objectives

Familiarity with the various methodologies used in biomedical research.

Knowledge and facility using instruments involved in Biomedical research

Competences

CB1. That students have demonstrated that they have and understand knowledge in an area of ​​study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, while supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of their field of study

CB2. That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and problem solving within their area of study

CE61. Differentiate the technical and methodological means used in Biomedical research

CE66. Recognize the scientific methodology of research.

CE67. Apply scientific methodology in biomedical research. Learn to work in the laboratory by joining a scientific group and participating in all its activities

CE68. Develop work skills and interpersonal relationships in a work environment and know the organization of research centers and biomedical scientific companies.

CG1. Have a correct oral and written expression

CG2 Master a foreign language.

 

Subject contents

Become familiar with the different methodologies used in biomedical research. Know and use the equipment and methodologies related to biomedical research

Methodology

To acquire these skills, students must do three internships of one month each, at research centres, biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, technical science services, hospital and university research laboratories, genetic diagnostic laboratories, hospital and private clinic blood banks and clinical and pathology laboratories.

During their internship at the centre, institution or company, the student must collaborate, as a support technician, to apply the work methodology related to the group's research. The goal of the activity is that the student learns laboratory techniques used in biomedical research.

After each rotation:

 

MANDATORY: the students must wear in the course of teaching practices:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the internship supervisor will indicate the PPE required for each technique.

General safety standards in laboratory

Development plan

Information sessions:
1) Explanation of the subject
2) Preparation of a CV and explanation of the centres where you can do internships
3) Contents and parts of the report

Tutorials:
to find tutors and centres to carry out the internship

Training stay:
During the training stay, students will have a tutor at the centre
The tutor of the centre will be responsible for the learning activities and the achievement of the objectives
Once the stay is over, the tutor will evaluate the student

Evaluation

Report of the first year 40% of the final grade

Report of the second year 40% of the final grade

Assessment of tutors 15% of the final grade

Itinerary (not to repeat Research Center and variety in the Research areas) 5% of the final grade

 

Alternative evaluation.

Students may take an alternative evaluation to facilitate work or family reconciliation.

It consists in a single internship that will account for 100% of the grade (Report 85% + 15% Tutor assessment).
