Abstract

Introduction: due to the diagnostic utility of complementary clinical laboratory tests, it is necessary to learn from undergraduate to achieve better medical care.

Objective: to elaborate a teaching support material on reference values of clinical laboratory examinations.

The sample consisted of 60 third-year students of the Medicine career and 15 professional specialists from the Clinical Laboratory and Internal Medicine as evaluators. Reference values for laboratory test results were collected. Microsoft Publisher 2016, from the Office suite, was used for digital editing. For the treatment of the images, Adobe Photoshop 10 was used. A semi-structured survey was applied to evaluate the product.

Results: all the indicators received adequate or higher grades from 95 % of the students, where 26,67 % indicated the update as very adequate. Regarding the perception by teachers, all the indicators received adequate or higher marks by 93,33 % of the teachers, where 100 % evaluated the practical value and coherent integration of the contents as adequate or superior.
