Clinical Physiology and Neurophysiology, Supervised TrainingLaajuus (4 cr)

Objectives

Student is able to
- perform ECG registrations and pulmonary function tests reliably and in a client-oriented manner
- evaluate the reliability and quality of the results
- guide patients and health care professionals in clinical physiology and neurophysiology examinations, taking preanalytical requirements into account
- look after the patient's safety and wellbeing during examinations
- develop his/her cooperation skills in multiprofessional work environment and various interaction situations and is interested in developing laboratory work
- after the clinical training student masters the basic skills in clinical physiology and neurophysiology laboratory work and quality management
