2. Course Description
In Department of Pharmacy Curriculum of 2017, Clinical Chemistry Course is given to students in semester 3 with 2 credit point. The course is compulsory with Biochemical as prerequisite. The course aims to support competency of graduation in basic knowledge of biomedical, integrative thinking skill, and teamwork. Students will study the introduction of clinical chemistry laboratory including its benefits and roles both in pharmaceutical field and other health services. The course will also cover principle of safety and quality assurance in clinical laboratory, preanalytical procedures of various specimen, biochemical analysis to support management of patient, advanced technology application Point of Care Testing in clinical laboratory, and the role of clinical laboratory in forensic. Students will also study how to handle specimen categorized as najis based on principle of Islamic values. Further in the course, students will study the application of clinical chemistry in solving relevant clinical cases. These activities will train students capacity in critical thinking, teamwork, to pass an opinion and presentation.
