Description

You will be able to manage high-level laboratories in specialty hospitals, both from the perspective of care provision (diagnosis and treatment), technology, and administration.

You will prepare and train in a general panorama of “Laboratory Medicine” or “Clinical Pathology” as a medical specialty from a historical, philosophical, practical, evolutive, and current perspective so that you can consider the clinical laboratory as your area of work.

You will be able to select the most appropriate laboratory procedures to examine patients, based on their indications and counterindications and taking advantage of your basic training in general medicine, outline the procedures of Clinical Laboratories and Blood Banks through theoretical-practical preparation, interpret the laboratory results, and establish the most appropriate correlation with clinical and morphological data.

Duration: 3 years.

 

Venue:

  • Christus Muguerza Alta Especialidad (High-Specialty Hospital).
Recognition of Official Validity of Studies (RVOE) granted by the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education in accordance with agreement 20110466 dated September 1, 2009.

Objective

We train specialist physicians in Clinical Pathology. You will use the practical administrative procedures of Clinical Analysis Departments and Blood Banks. You will also demonstrate a critical attitude in which the scientific method is applied to the systematic research of the problems affecting your community. Furthermore, you will consider teaching as an integral part of your duties at a level equivalent to that of your care work.
