Welcome to the
course "PLACENTAL SAMPLING IN STUDIES ON MALARIA IN PREGNANCY"
This course is the first one of the two courses on placental histology that
have been prepared for the Pyrapreg teams.
The main objectives of the course are:
- To learn how to manipulate a fresh placenta and obtain an adequate smear and
a sample for histology
- To understand the need of standardization and quality in the handling and
processing of the placental samples
The course is organized in four sections, which include a total of 11 lessons.
In the virtual campus, you will find for the different lessons a series of
materials that may include:
- Narrated PowerPoint presentations
- PDFs of the different presentations to facilitate the personal study of the
contents of the lessons
- Narrated videos
- "Standard operating procedures" (SOP), with a detailed description
of the main technical procedures.
Although the estimated duration of the course is 8 hours, all materials will be
available to the attendees for a full week. During this one-week period, any
questions raised by attendees will be answered by the training team. A forum
has been opened in the virtual campus to allow you posting any questions you
may have.
All the materials
are in English, but questions posted in French or Portuguese will also be accepted.
On the last day, a questionnaire will be opened on the platform. This test will
help to verify that you have learned the most relevant aspects of the course
and to confirm that you are properly qualified for taking placental samples.
