Educational objectives The main aim of this teaching is to provide students with the bases needed to a good level of knowledge of the clinical-biochemisry laboratory . Teaching is fundamental for the professional figure of the nutritionist as it provides knowledge for an assessment of the patient's biochemical-clinical picture essential for a nutritional plan.
Main knowledge acquired will be:
.analyzes performed for the assessment of the physiological nutritional status
. evaluation of metabolic disorders in patological conditions.
Prerequisites In order to understand and know how to apply the topics covered in the course for a metabolic assessment by the nutritionist, it is essential to have taken the biochemistry examination of nutrition
Teaching methods Frontal lectures and/or in DAD with projection of images
Other information Frequency is recommended. he teaching material presented in class will be included on the UNISTUDIUM platform so that working students can also view it and use it for study.
Learning verification modality Final oral test that will evaluate the knowledge acquired and the ability to distinguish a physiological picture from a pathological one on the basis of a biochemical-clinical point of view
