Description:

The learning design for the Immunological laboratory exercises which are a part of "Immunology and Microbiology" course for 5th semester medical students.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

The student must be able to describe principles in microbiological and immunological diagnostics and sampling
The student must be able to assess and interpret the results of analysis from immunological and microbiological samples.
The student must be able to explain the principles of the immunological methods which are included in the training course.
The student must be able to apply practical skills in sterile techniques, including the use of infectious material.
The student must be able to apply knowledge and skills in relevant microbiological and immunological issues...
...including the ability to suggest the sampling and assessment of scientific data and the results of analysis from patient samples

Resources		Tasks		Supports
Before laboratory exercises - In-class and Out-of-class activites
Lectures (slides, notes) covering subjects Laboratory Instruction book Supporting material i.e. video on PBMC isolation	→	MUST read section on "Laboratory hygiene & safety" Read instructions for exercises Answer exam-like assignments about the patient-cases See video on PBMC isolation ↓	←	Co-students or study-groups

Laboratory exercises - Day 1 - In-class activities
Laboratory instruction book Hand-out of: - Blood smear specimens (Healthy donor and patient 2) - Hematological quantities (Normal range and patient 2)		Plenary introduction and discussion Answer "before exercise" questions Start exercises and conduct experiments: - Patient 1 - Patient 2 - Exercise 1 Plenary discussion ↓	←	Own laboratory team Other laboratory teams Main instructor(s) Student teachers Laboratory technicians
Laboratory exercises - Day 2 - In-class activities
Laboratory instruction book Hand-out of: - Lymph node specimens (Healthy donor and patient 2)		Plenary introduction and discussion Continue exercises and conduct experiments: - Patient 1 - Patient 2 - Exercise 1 Answer "after exercise" questions Plenary conclusion, interpretation, discussion ↓	←	Own laboratory team Other laboratory teams Main instructor(s) Student teachers Laboratory technicians
PEDAGOGICAL INTERVENTION TO BE IMPLEMENTED - REFLECTIVE EXERCISE
After exercises - In-class and Out-of-class activities
Laboratory instruction book - Results Supporting material i.e. video of "Introduction to Flow Cytometry" Hand-out of: - Flow Cytometry analysis (Patient 2)		Theoretical exercise with follow-up questions to the exercises: - Patient 1 - Patient 2 Continuous diagnosis of Patient 2	←	Co-students or study groups Student teachers.
