Real-world experience in the biomedical science laboratory allows students to practically implement the knowledge obtained in their theory-based courses. A working knowledge of equipment and instruments in the biomedical science laboratory as well as quantitative skills for analysing biomedical science data are essential for graduates in biomedical science. Techniques in Comparative Physiology 1 enables students to be instructed and gain training in fundamental techniques in biomedical science, particularly in the disciplines of physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry and cell and molecular biology.

In some disciplines, students need to demonstrate competency before they can progress further in their studies. Competency involves the application skills and knowledge to a particular standard performance. Students need to pass all competency assessments in a course and reach a total passing of 50% to be awarded a passing grade. Competency Assessment Items are identified in the course specification.

Techniques in Comparative Physiology 1 comprises a week of laboratory-based residential school that instructs students to operate biomedical science laboratory equipment and instruments. This equipment and instruments are used to produce data that is analysed using quantitative skills such as generating standard curves and statistics.

This course contains a mandatory 5-day residential school. Students must attend all 5 days of the residential school to pass the course.

On the completion of this course the student should be able to:

1. Competently apply a range of laboratory techniques;
2. Work safely and ethically in the biomedical science laboratory;
3. Use quantitative skills to generate, analyse, summarise and report experimental data;
4. Employ literature retrieval and academic writing skills to generate a scientific laboratory report.
