Innovation of Clinical and Pathological Biochemistry in study programme Pharmacy

Considering current trends in educational process, technological development as well as circumstances related to the distance form of study during COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to complement the traditional educational methods with modern information a communication technologies. The main goal of the proposed project is the innovation of the compulsory study subject „Clinical and Pathological Biochemistry“ implemented in the 3rd year of the study programme Pharmacy by preparing comprehensive study material in the form of printed textbook and e-learning material on the Moodle platform. Since the currently available literature written in Slovak or Czech language is mostly oriented towards medicine programmes and courses, specific literature related to clinical biochemistry and especially pathobiochemistry intended for pharmacists is missing. Simultaneous preparation of e-learning material in the system Moodle will contribute to the interactive learning process of university students as well as in the distance form of study. Furthermore, it is necessary to improve the quality of education by implementation of current laboratory techniques and procedures in clinical biochemistry regarding the widespread and rapid progress in biochemical knowledge. Therefore another goal of the project is to modernize the practical part of education with the latest molecular methods.
