Biomedical Laboratory techniques REPLICA B - ROMA AZIENDA S.CAMILLO FORLANINI

The training program is structured into practical and theoretical–applicative modules, in continuity with Internship I and preparatory for Internship III. - Review of the pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases, with attention to potential sources of error. - Proper management of biological samples: acceptance, identification, storage, and disposal. - Practical execution of basic biochemical, hematological, and urinary tests. - Analysis of analytical interferences and evaluation of non-conforming results. - Introduction to the concepts of technical validation and analytical data verification. - Calibration, adjustment, and verification of accuracy and precision. - Application of internal quality control (IQC) procedures. - Accident prevention and implementation of emergency protocols. - Proper management of chemical reagents: labeling, storage, and inventory recording. - Clinical pathology: principles of clinical chemistry, hematology, and coagulation; execution and interpretation of basic tests (e.g., glucose, creatinine, complete blood count, PT, aPTT). - Clinical microbiology: principles of bacterial culture and identification, microscopic observation, rapid tests, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. - Immunology and serology: immunoenzymatic assays (ELISA), antigen–antibody reactions, and rapid diagnostic tests. - Transfusion medicine and immunohematology: introduction to ABO and Rh blood grouping, Coombs test, and antibody screening. - Anatomical pathology: histological and cytological processing, staining, and specimen fixation.

To access Internship II, the student must have successfully completed Internship I and acquired the basic theoretical and practical competencies developed during the first year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Laboratory Techniques.

Internship II involves the student’s attendance and rotation across various Operational Units (U.O.) / Laboratories, with two-month rotations organized to ensure a comprehensive and integrated educational experience in different diagnostic areas. During the internship, the student takes part in practical and applied activities within several specialized laboratories — such as clinical pathology, microbiology, immunohematology, and anatomical pathology — with the aim of consolidating the operational skills acquired and developing greater professional autonomy. The internship also includes a training period within the Operational Units of the G.B. Grassi Hospital in Ostia, providing the student with the opportunity to engage in a real clinical–hospital environment and to deepen their understanding of the organizational and technical dynamics typical of hospital diagnostic laboratories. The educational experience is supervised by the technical coordinator, who monitors and supports the student’s learning progress throughout the internship.

The student will be assessed by an examination committee composed of faculty members, professional Biomedical Laboratory Technicians (TSLB), and subject matter experts.
