Comments
A quality management system is mandatory for medical laboratories in Germany. In preparation for this there will be an introduction to quality management, terms, basics and regulations and the added value this brings to laboratories. Quality management is taught, including the implementation of appropriate organizational structures, procedures, processes and methods, and offers further guidance on laboratory safety. In addition, the use of quality management tools in laboratories, will be worked out interactively with the participants in group work.
Qualification Objectives:
Students possess additional knowledge, skills, and implementation-oriented competencies beyond their specialized academic studies that are conducive to professional activities. At the end of the course, students will have mastered the principles and methods of quality management. They will be able to orient themselves in a quality management-led laboratory. In doing so, they have acquired knowledge of the relevant national and international regulations and are able to assess the necessary quality assurance tools of laboratories. Practical exercises in the laboratory deepen this knowledge, which is a requirement for working with microbial pathogens.
