A16. Observations:
Most of the professors attached to the course granted the degree in Clinical and Public Health Analysis
(ACSP). In a close and old collaboration, during since 2003 with the School of Health Technology of Lisbon
(ESTeSL), was drawn the cycle studies in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences (CBL). This experience, as well
as conducting and lecturing the specific scientific areas of Pathology, Cytology and Tanatological, by
teachers of ESTeSL, reinforces the new cycle of studies now suggested.
The cycle of studies provides 240 ECTS of mandatory curricular units. It is organized into 8 semesters, with
a total of 39 curricular units, distributed in accordance to a progressive structured and professional model.
The first 56 semesters long each one 15 weeks of classes and 5 weeks for exams. They correspond to the
curricular part of the graduation (180 ECTS). Each semester has 30 ECTS (1ECTS=27hours - Despacho n.º
12826/2010, publicado em Diário da República, 2.ª série — N.º 153-9 de agosto). The contents of the1st year
curricular units are mainly from the basic and specialty sciences, laying the ground to the approach and
the integration of more specific components of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences to be taught in the
following semesters. The curricular units in the scientific area of CBL, which take place on the 3rd , 4th ,
5th and 6th semesters, has mostly a typology of Laboratory Practice, in this class the students will be
divided into two groups thus the quality of learning will be guaranteed .
The 7th and 8th semester correspond to the professional part, where the internships (Internship in
Biomedical Laboratory Sciences I and II) occur with 20 weeks length each, where it is also contemplated
the development of the final course work. The internships Integrate the components: clinical and
laboratorial biochemistry/immunology, hematology, microbiology, histotecnologia, cytopathology,
immunocytochemistry as mandatory fields and areas of forensic medicine, molecular biology and public
health as optional. The teacher responsible for each internship, together with the other teachers of the
area, divided among them the supervision of 9 students each, counting an occupation of 0,25h/student
/week.

3.1.3. Inserção do ciclo de estudos na estratégia institucional de oferta formativa face à missão da instituição:
A Escola de Saúde do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança há longos anos promove a qualificação de alto
nível dos portugueses, a produção e difusão do conhecimento, bem como a formação cultural, artística,
tecnológica e científica dos seus estudantes, num quadro de referência internacional, sendo que, no
domínio das ciências da saúde essa qualificação é na região de Trás-os-Montes um objetivo essencial para
a consecução de ganhos em saúde, melhoria da qualidade de vida da população e implicitamente o
desenvolvimento sustentado da região.
Deste modo, numa resposta adequada e ajustada às necessidades específicas em cuidados de saúde,
surge o 1º ciclo em Ciências Biomédicas Laboratoriais.
A criação de sinergias pela ação concertada da comunidade educativa, da instituição e comunidade
externa, em particular, autarquias, serviços e empresas consubstanciarão esta aposta. As parcerias com
instituições diversas e de referência, nacionais ou internacionais, com uma opção clara pela cooperação
transfronteiriça e com os países de língua oficial portuguesa, serão instrumentos privilegiados.
No contexto formativo atual e congruente com o desenvolvimento profissional o presente curso de
licenciatura reflete o olhar estratégico e prospetivo da instituição no que se refere à consolidação da oferta
formativa nesta área, contribuindo para a qualificação de profissionais de elevada capacidade técnica,
científica e organizacional, que persigam a exigência da qualidade dos cuidados e dos ganhos em saúde.
Neste pressuposto, entende-se que a componente laboratorial deva assumir um significativo volume de
trabalho do estudante criando-lhe a necessidade de desenvolver a vertente de ligação à prática
profissional futura, numa atitude de constante pesquisa, reflexão e atualização, não descurando os
conhecimentos sólidos num leque abrangente de ciências da vida e médicas, realização de projetos de
investigação, conhecimento do código de boas práticas laboratoriais, considerações sociais, éticas e
deontológicas.
Entende-se ainda que a convergência dos objetivos institucionais do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança e
das suas Escolas trabalhando em rede, gerindo recursos, complementando e criando sinergias é uma
alavanca útil para compatibilizar propostas educativas, investigacionais e de ligação à comunidade.
3.1.3. Insertion of the study programme in the institutional training offer strategy against the mission of the
institution:
For many years, the Health School of Polytechnic Institute of Bragança has been promoting the highest
level of qualification of the Portuguese, the production and dissemination of knowledge as well as the
cultural, artistic, scientific and technological formation of its students within an international framework
reference, being that in the field of health sciences that qualification is in the region of Tras-os-Montes a
key goal to achieve health gains, improve the quality of life of the population and implicitly the sustained
development of the region. Thus, under an appropriate and tailored answer to the specific needs in health
care, it’s drawn the 1st cycle of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences.
The creation of synergies by a concerted action of the institutional educational community, as well as the
external one, particularly local authorities, enterprises and services substantiate this bet. Partnerships with
several institutions of national and international reference, with a clear option both for a border
cooperation and with Portuguese-speaking countries, will be privileged instruments.
In current teaching context and consistent with the professional development this graduation reflects the
strategic and prospective outlook of the institution concerning the consolidation of teaching offer in this
area, contributing to professional qualification of high technical, scientific and organizational capacity,
pursuing the requirement of care quality and health gains.
With this assumption, it is meant that the laboratory component must take a significant amount of
student's work creating them the need to develop a connection to their future professional practice, in a
permanent attitude of research, reflexion and updating, without forgetting the solid knowledges in a
comprehensive range of life and medical sciences, development of research projects, knowledge of good
laboratory practices code, social, ethical and deontological considerations.
It is further understood that convergence of Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and its schools institutional
objectives by networking, managing resources, complementing and creating synergies is a useful lever to
match educational, research and of connection to the community proposals.
3.2. Adequação ao projeto educativo, científico e cultural da Instituição
3.2.2. Demonstração de que os objetivos definidos para o ciclo de estudos são compatíveis com o projeto
educativo, científico e cultural da Instituição:
O curso de licenciatura em Ciências Biomédicas Laboratoriais é uma formação inovadora porque congrega
duas formações reconhecidas: Análises Clínicas e Saúde Pública e Anatomia Patológica, Citológica e
Tanatológica num único curso, conforme modelo proposto no “1º Relatório sobre propostas de
“agregação/fusão” de 1ºs ciclos de estudos de 2013”, para um perfil de saída mais polivalente em áreas de
maior expressão profissional. Visa, ainda, como salienta o referido relatório, a par da realidade nacional
promover o incremento da paridade internacional desta formação e promover linhas de investigação
prioritariamente dirigidas à resolução dos problemas e à prestação de serviços de alto valor acrescentado,
por valorização económica do conhecimento nesta área formativa.
Na área da presente proposta, a Escola tem em funcionamento o curso de licenciatura em Análises
Clínicas e Saúde Pública desde 2003. Tendo evoluído de Escola de Enfermagem para Escola de Saúde viu
criada a possibilidade de formar em áreas que lhe estavam inacessíveis, o que tem vindo a revelar-se de
particular importância, ministrando cinco licenciaturas nesta área formativa. Ao longo da sua existência
tem procurado conciliar uma estratégia de crescimento com o princípio fundamental da procura da
qualidade formativa, cumprindo a sua função institucional, pelo que tem merecido o reconhecimento de
outras instituições de ensino, da saúde e da comunidade em geral. Como Instituição de Ensino Superior
ocupa, neste momento, um importante espaço formativo na área das ciências da saúde, constituindo-se
um pilar fundamental para o desenvolvimento da região. A criação de cursos no âmbito da formação
especializada e de mestrado, que correspondam aos anseios daqueles que pretendem continuar os seus
estudos, ou atualizar o conhecimento, tem sido uma preocupação que tem norteado os órgãos de gestão,
nos últimos anos.
A proposta deste curso está perfeitamente integrada na missão e estratégia da instituição, constituindo
uma mais-valia nos seus domínios de ensino e, por consequência, um alargamento de competências na
área de formação em Tecnologias de Diagnóstico e Terapêutica.
3.2.2. Demonstration that the study programme's objectives are compatible with the Institution's educational,
scientific and cultural project:
The course in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences is an innovative teaching program because it brings
together two recognized formations in Clinical and Public Health Analysis and Pathological, Cytological
and Tanatological Anatomy as a single course, according to a model proposed by the "1st Report on
proposals for" aggregation / fusion’s of 1st cycle studies, 2013” looking for a more versatile profile in areas
of higher professional expression. It also aims, as highlighted by the report, together with the national
reality to promote the expansion of international parity of this formation and to promote research lines
primarily directed to solving problems and the provision of high value-added services, for economic
enhancement of knowledge in this teaching area. In the area of the present proposal, the School has been
teaching the graduation in Clinical and Public Health Analysis since 2003. Having evolved from a Nursing
School to a Health School it was created the possibility of teaching in areas previously inaccessible, which
was proved to be particularly important, teaching five degrees this formative area. Throughout its existence
it has sought to combine a growth strategy with the fundamental principle of the demand for teaching of
quality, fulfilling its institutional role, and so it has been acknowledged by other education and health
institutions and by the community in general. As an Institution of Higher Education, nowadays it occupies
an important formative space in the area of health sciences, becoming a key pillar to the region's
development. The creation of courses within the specialized formation and master degrees, which
correspond to the desires of those who wish to continue their studies or update their knowledges, has
been
being a concern that has guided the management bodies in the last years.
The proposal of this graduation is perfectly integrated into the mission and institution's strategy,
constituting an added value in its area of education and consequently an extension of competences in the
formation area in Diagnosis and Therapy Technologies.

3.3.4. Intended learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences to be developed by the students):
Recognize the applications of genetics in clinical, public health and its role in biomedical research. To
know register and interpret family history of an individual. To identify the main chromosomal anomalies
and understand how national program for prenatal diagnosis is organized. To establish the genotype-
phenotype correlation in main groups of monogenic and multifactorial diseases and identify the new
approaches in the diagnosis (methodologies) and treatment of genetic diseases. To determine how genes
are distributed in the population, determine gene and genotype frequencies and identify the evolutionary
mechanisms. To understand what are the ethical issues involved in genetic diagnosis. The most important
skills that students must develop are: the application of the rules of heredity (Mendelian and Classical
genetics exceptions) and the ability to aplly the knowledge of this subject for the diagnosis, prognosis and
treatment of several diseases.
3.3.5. Syllabus:
1. Historical Perspective of genetics as a science and its impact on medicine.
2. Genetic variation (polymorphism, biochemical polymorphism, chromosomal mutation, gene mutation)
and epigenetic mechanisms.
[Link] transmission and the laws of genetic inheritance and its exceptions. Aspects of phenotypic
expression.
4. Molecular and Biochemical Basis of genetic diseases. Association between molecular pathology and
phenotype. Analysis of clinical cases: Hemoglobinopathies, Immunogenetics and metabolic diseases

3.3.6. Evidence of the syllabus coherence with the curricular unit’s intended learning outcomes:
The syllabus defined, allows achieving the proposed objectives, as they represent a set of essential topics
of medical genetics learning in this area. The information about historical perspective of genetics as a
science and its impact on medicine (content 1) gives students an overview of the applications of genetics
and somehow allows realizing the choice of the following contents. The content 2 and 3 are related to the
laws of heredity and the molecular mechanisms that may be associated with any group of pathologies that
referred in the following contents. For the study of genetic transmission, it is important the knowledge of
exceptions to Mendel's laws and aspects of phenotypic expression, mechanisms that can twist analysis of
genetic transmission. The contents from 4 to 7 expose different groups of genetic pathologies allowing
student to understand the relationship that can be established between the genotype and phenotype
through different classes of altered proteins. The protocols of laboratory lessons, about diagnosis of these
diseases, contribute to the accomplishment of this knowledge. The content 8 allows students to
understand the dynamics and the importance of prenatal diagnosis. The identification of chromosomal
fetal malformation-causing changes is of particular importance because it allows the establishment of
embryonic phenotype-genotype correlation. Fetal malformations detected can contribute largely to an
increase in fetal mortality rates and/or postnatal morbidity, the possibility of detection of chromosomal
abnormalities underlying these malformations assumes a crucial role in terms of clinical practice in
maternal-fetal care. The content 9, the Hardy-Weinberg law is the basis for understanding the mechanisms
involved in population genetics, which is a branch of genetics that aims to investigate the dynamics of
genes in natural populations, looking for the elucidation of the mechanisms that alter hisgene composition.
The importance of the study of alternative forms (alleles) of a gene in a population, without this necessarily
implying the presence of disease, allows understanding the link between the gene-gene and gene-
environment interactions and the development of other diseases. The student may realize as medical care
are today moving towards personalized service (nutrigenetics and pharmacogenetics, content 10),
depending on the genetic background of the patient. Moreover, that any disease can be addressed under
the perspective of his available genetic information. To know the ethical questions are also an important
objective of this curriculum unit and content 11 aims to address national legislation and international
guidelines for this feature (genetic information and personal health information, rules for the collection and
conservation of biological products for the purpose of genetic testing or research).
3.3.8. Demonstração da coerência das metodologias de ensino com os objetivos de aprendizagem da unidade
curricular:
As aulas teórico-práticas são, em parte, expositivas e os alunos são convidados a participar pela
mobilização de conhecimentos prévios dos assuntos abordados. É importante a integração dos
conhecimentos de outras áreas, como Biologia Molecular e a Bioquímica. As aulas teórico-práticas
incluem exercícios sobre probabilidade de descendência afetada, exercícios sobre genética populacional
(efeito de fatores evolutivos, isto é, mutações, seleção natural, deriva genética e fluxo génico de
populações migrantes) ou apenas a frequência genotípica pelo aumento da homozigotia (efeito dos
casamentos consanguíneos ou da subdivisão da população em grandes isolados). Os diferentes grupos
de doenças serão abordados pela exploração de diversos casos clínicos e artigos recentes sobre o
mecanismo fisiopatológico, epidemiologia, diagnóstico entre outros. A exposição teórica das matérias
acompanhada de exemplificações reais e atuais permite aos estudantes reconhecer a importância dos
conteúdos lecionados. Com estas estratégias o aluno torna-se gradualmente mais autónomo no processo
de aprendizagem. Os resultados obtidos nas aulas práticas são analisados em conjunto sendo possível,
desta forma, estimular o espírito crítico dos alunos e realizar uma avaliação/correção da forma como os
alunos expõem raciocínios, factos e argumentações. A relação e interdependência entre a aprendizagem
teórica e a sua aplicação prática permitem ainda alimentar o interesse dos estudantes pelas diferentes
abordagens de diagnóstico. Nas aulas laboratoriais os alunos têm a possibilidade de experimentar a
técnica básica de PCR e outras técnicas de manipulação de ácidos nucleicos e proteínas e aplicá-las ao
diagnóstico genético. Nas aulas tutoriais e, com a leitura prévia dos textos recomendados, os alunos são
estimulados a "desenhar" protocolos de diagnóstico para diferentes patologias. As questões éticas são
também abordadas desta forma com a discussão de alguns temas.
3.3.8. Evidence of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit’s intended learning
outcomes:
Theoretic-practical classes are, in part, expository and students are invited to participate by the
mobilization of previous knowledge of already discussed subjects. It is important the integration of
knowledge from other areas, such as Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. The theoretic-practical lessons
include exercises on likelihood of affected offspring, exercises on population genetics (effect of
evolutionary factors, that is, mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow of migrant
populations) or just the genotypic frequency in presence of increased homozygosity (effect of
consanguineous marriages or of subdivision of the population in large isolated groups). The different
groups of diseases will be addressed by the holding of several clinical cases and recent articles on the
pathophysiological mechanism, epidemiology and diagnosis, among others. The results obtained in the
practical lessons are analyzed by all students together, in this way is possible to stimulate their critical
spirit and the evaluation/correction of the way how they expose reasoning, facts and arguments. With
these strategies the student becomes gradually more autonomous in the learning process. The results
obtained in the practical lessons are analyzed by all students together, in this way, being possible to
stimulate their critical spirit and evaluation/correction the way how students expose reasoning, facts and
arguments. The relationship and interdependence between theoretical learning and practical application
allow feeding the students ' interest by different diagnostic approaches. In laboratory lessons students
have the possibility to try the basic PCR technique and other techniques of manipulation of nucleic acids
and proteins and apply them to genetic diagnosis. In tutorials lessons, by reading the texts, students will
be encouraged to "draw" diagnostic protocol for different pathologies. Ethical issues will also be
addressed in tutorial way with the discussion of some subjects.

4.3. Procedimento de avaliação do desempenho do pessoal docente e medidas para a sua permanente
actualização:
O Regulamento do Sistema de Avaliação do Desempenho do Pessoal Docente do Instituto Politécnico de
Bragança foi publicado em Diário da República em 10 de janeiro de 2011 (Regulamento n.º 14/2011. D.R. n.º
6, Série II de 2011-01-10).
O procedimento de avaliação definido, descrito de forma exaustiva no referido Regulamento, contempla o
preenchimento trienal de relatórios padronizados, por parte dos avaliados e a análise/validação de
registos, por parte dos relatores, relativamente às três grandes dimensões da atividade docente:
componente técnicocientífica, componente pedagógica e componente organizacional.
Até ao momento, foram alvo de avaliação dois ciclos: 2004-2007 e 2008-2010 estando prevista, para o início
do ano de 2014, a avaliação do ciclo 2011¬2013.
O procedimento de avaliação é integralmente suportado por uma plataforma Web, que inclui módulos para
produção de relatórios finais de avaliação, para realização de audiências prévias e para elaboração de
relatórios estatísticos, para além dos módulos de recolha de informação (formulários preenchidos pelos
avaliados), de validação de registos (usado pelos relatores que integram a Comissão de Análise da
Avaliação do Pessoal Docente) e de gestão do processo de avaliação (usado pelo Conselho Técnico-
científico do IPB e pelo Conselho de Coordenação de Avaliação do IPB).
Os resultados da avaliação do desempenho relevam para alteração do posicionamento remuneratório,
conforme previsto na legislação. Adicionalmente, o Conselho Pedagógico coordena a aplicação semestral
do inquérito de avaliação do desempenho pedagógico dos docentes, que visa recolher a opinião dos
alunos relativamente à forma como decorrem as atividades relacionadas com as várias unidades
curriculares.
Os resultados destes inquéritos são analisados pelo Conselho Pedagógico, pelos Departamentos e pelas
Direções de Curso, sendo que a classificação atribuída pelos alunos relativamente ao desempenho global
do docente releva para efeito de avaliação do docente (o Regulamento do Sistema de Avaliação do
Desempenho do Pessoal Docente contempla um item de avaliação para este efeito).
4.3. Teaching staff performance evaluation procedures and measures for its permanent updating:
The Regulation of the Teaching staff Performance Evaluation System of the Polytechnic Institute of
Bragança was published in the Official Gazette on January 10, 2011 (Regulation n. 14/2011. DR n. 6, Series
II of 2011¬01- 10).
The evaluation procedure defined and described in detail in that Regulation consists on filling a triennial
standardized report (written by the evaluated person), and analysis / validation of records by the evaluators
concerning the three major dimensions of the teacher activities: technical-¬scientific component,
pedagogical component and organizational component.
Till now, two cycles: 2004-2007 and 2008¬2010 were assessed and is planned, for the beginning of 2014,
the assessment of cycle 2011¬2013.
The evaluation procedure is fully supported by a Web platform that includes modules for production of
final evaluation reports, for previous hearings and statistical reporting, in addition to the modules to collect
information (forms filled in by teachers), validation records (used by the evaluators within the Teacher
Evaluation Analysis Committee) and management of the evaluation process (used by the Technical
Scientific Council of IPB and the IPB assessment Coordination Council.
The results of the performance evaluation fall to change the salary position, according to the legislation.
Additionally, the Pedagogical Council coordinates the implementation of a semester survey used for
teachers pedagogical performance assessment, which aims to gather students' opinions about the
development of the activities related to the various course units.
The results of these surveys are analyzed by the Pedagogical Council, by the Departments and by the
director of the cycle of studies.
The ratings given by the students in relation to the overall performance of the teacher is relevant for
purposes of teachers assessment (the Regulation of Teacher Performance Evaluation System includes an
assessment item for this purpose).

8.2. Avaliação da capacidade de atrair estudantes baseada nos dados de acesso (DGES):
Este item foi avaliado tendo em conta os resultados para o curso de ACSP (dados disponibilizados pela
DGES). Assim, no ano letivo 2011/12, para as 40 vagas da 1ª fase de candidaturas concorreram 250
candidatos, 17 em 1ª opção; apenas 6 vagas reverteram para a 2ª fase, às quais concorreram 83 alunos
(nota de candidatura=137,6 val - 1ª fase e 139,2 - 2ª). No ano letivo 2012/13 foram disponibilizadas 40 vagas.
Na 1ª fase de acesso o curso foi assinalado por 156 estudantes (nota de candidatura=128,0 val) e em 12
casos o mesmo constituiu a sua 1ª opção. Na 2ª fase 56 estudantes concorreram às vagas sobrantes. Na 2ª
fase a nota de candidatura foi de 122,4 valores. No último ano (2013/14) foram disponibilizadas 36 vagas,
às quais concorreram 100 candidatos, 5 deles em 1ª opção. A nota média de candidatura foi de 121,9
valores. O decréscimo do número de candidatos, do último ano, em ambas as fases de acesso pode
alterar-se com a presente proposta.
8.2. Evaluation of the capability to attract students based on access data (DGES):

10.2. Comparação com objetivos de aprendizagem de ciclos de estudos análogos existentes em instituições
de referência do Espaço Europeu de Ensino Superior:
Nas IEs acima referenciadas a duração da formação é igual ou muito semelhante àquela que agora se
propõe. Destaca-se a formação em “Biomedical Science” no Reino Unido (Benchmark Statement for
Biomedical Scientists - QAA), a formação em Medical Laboratory Scientists na Irlanda e o curso de
Biomedicinska analytiker na Suécia.
Nos países europeus o ciclo de formação inicial é maioritariamente apresentado com uma duração de 4
anos (240 créditos do ECTS), como é o caso do Reino Unido, Irlanda e Grécia, sabendo-se que no caso da
Suécia e mesmo da Finlândia, o curso não integra o estágio curricular, tendo neste último caso 3 anos e
meio (210 créditos de ECTS).
Os objetivos e competências propostas pelos diferentes cursos são muito semelhantes aos que agora se
apresentam.
10.2. Comparison with the intended learning outcomes of similar study programmes offered by reference
institutions of the European Higher Education Area:
In European space there is already a consolidated experience in the formation of Biomedical Sciences
technicians.
In HEIs mentioned above the course duration is equal or very similar to the one now proposed.
We highlight the formation in "Biomedical Science" in the UK (Benchmark Statement for Biomedical
Scientists - QAA), the formation in Medical Laboratory Scientists in Ireland and the course of
Biomedicinska analytiker in Sweden.
In European countries the 1st cycle is mostly presented with a duration of 4 years (240 credits ECTS), eg:
UK, Ireland and Greece, and it is known that in the case of Sweden, and Finland, the course does not
include the internship. The one in Sweden is a 3 year long course (180 ECTs) and in Finland is a 3 ½ years
course (210 ECTS credits).
The objectives and skills proposed by the different courses are very similar to those now proposed.
