Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Chemistry Social service

The activities performed by students during their Social Service provide them with the opportunity to integrate the knowledge acquired throughout their degree, develop new skills, and collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner with healthcare personnel. Additionally, this service acts as a way to give back to the community for what has been received during their professional training.

The Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Chemistry, through its Coordination of Social Service, maintains a close relationship with the Department of Social Service and Professional Internships of UANL, as it follows the administrative process and guidelines established for requesting the placement of students in Social Service positions within our UANL.

The Department of Social Service and Professional Internships manages the Procedure for Program Registration and the Application for Students in Social Service, in order to streamline the process of registering programs or projects that require Social Service Providers from the various undergraduate and technical programs offered by our University, as well as to ensure the appropriate selection of said Providers.

The process begins with the promotion of timely compliance with the Social Service requirement through informational meetings. Students are invited to attend these meetings via announcements posted on the notice boards of the School of Medicine and the University Hospital. Attendance is mandatory, as compliance is a graduation requirement. (Posted on the notice boards of the School of Medicine and University Hospital)

Program registration must be completed within the dates authorized by the Academic Committee of the University Council.

The Program Supervisor will proceed to register, at the Department of Social Service and Professional Internships of UANL, the programs that require the participation of students in Social Service, using the officially established format for that purpose.

Programs submitted by different departments are reviewed and, if applicable, approved by mutual agreement between the Director of Social Service and Professional Internships and/or the Coordinator of Social Service of the School.

The number of authorized placements is based on the number of students eligible for Social Service by academic cycle and program.

The Coordinator of Social Service of the Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Chemistry will summon the eligible students to the Social Service Induction Course, during which the steps to follow in the registration process will be explained in detail.

Once the number of placements for each program has been authorized, eligible students who are enrolled in the School and ready to perform their Social Service will register online for a placement on the scheduled date approved by the Academic Committee of the University Council.

The Department of Social Service and Professional Internships will issue a formal Appointment, which specifies the start date of the service. According to Articles 22 and 23 of the Social Service Regulations, students must complete this activity over a period no shorter than six months and no longer than twelve months, which must be consecutive. Students must dedicate a minimum of 480 hours or 960 hours, respectively, depending on the program, distributed over the corresponding period.

Monthly activity reports must be submitted. These must be signed by the Program Supervisor and delivered to the Coordinator of Social Service. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the Social Service.

Upon completion of the Social Service, the student must complete the overall report and service evaluation. The student will fill out the section describing the activities carried out and sign it. They will then submit it to their Program Supervisor, who will complete the evaluation section and sign it as well. This will allow the student to receive their official termination certificate, which is required to begin the release process.
