CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
Biochemistry deals a basic understanding of
the chemical compounds and their metabolic
processes occurring in the cells/organisms.
Clinical biochemistry includes applications
of biochemistry in the medicine also.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
On completion of the Clinical Biochemistry course, the student will be able to:
Evaluate the biochemical reason of the human cell.
Explain the maintenance of cellular life in the term of
energy production and biosynthetic ability.
Apply biochemical knowledge to solve the problems of
human health and disease.
Practice basic skills in applying laboratory techniques
encountered in hospital's biochemistry laboratories.
Understand the genetic basis of cells.

TOPIC - BASED TUTORIALS
TEAM - BASED LEARNING (TBL)
TBL TOPICS
There will be 3 TBL viz. Enzymes in clinical practice, metabolism of amino acids and purine/pyrimidine metabolism.
Students will be classified into 6 groups. Each group will be assigned one topic.
All of you have to collect related information and discuss with each other within the group.
Each group should prepare PPT and present it on the date of TBL presentation.
Every student will be evaluated individually and within the group.
All group should attend all the TBLs. (1 marks)
In this module your performance will
be assessed as follows:
Quiz 10 Marks
Mid-term 20 Marks
Open book exam 5 Marks
TBL 5 marks
Final Theory Exam 45 Marks
Practical 10 Marks
Oral Exam 5 Marks
Substitution -
Total = 100 Marks
ASSESSMENT

STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY Much of the subject matter is interrelated, so
failure to attend one lecture may impact learning in multiple areas.
So, class attendance are extremely important to your learning.
Minor learning difficulties become major problems if not treated at once.
So, contact your teacher immediately to solve any problem.
You can also communicate by email with any one of the faculty member.
Please bring your own pencil, rubber etc for all the exams. The module member or invigilators are not responsible for the same.
If there is anything that the module coordinator and/or co-coordinator can do to assist you during the course, please feel free to contact him/her.
