1. 100% participation in seminar exercises is required. In case of absence (maximum of three times), the student is obliged to prepare and present a seminar paper from the uncompleted chapter.

2. During each exercise, students solve case reports, for which they must obtain an average grade of at least E (51%).

3. Passing the written exam with a grade of A (91-100%), B (81-90%), C (71-80%), D (61-70%) or E (51-60%).

By completing the course Clinical Biochemistry and Hematology, the student will gain knowledge about modern and specific methods of determining biochemical and hematological indicators of animal diseases. On the basis of case reports, he will acquire the ability to work professionally with a veterinarian in preparing a patient for collection of sample, in processing and transporting samples of biological material to the laboratory, as well as in administrative tasks in selecting the indicated laboratory examination and interpreting the result of the patient's laboratory findings.
