We developed and participated in a 1-week laboratory medicine training presented from June 3, 2019, to June 7, 2019.
The training was a combination of daily morning lectures and case presentations as well as afternoon practical sessions in the clinical laboratory. The content was selected over months by local organizers and the visiting faculty and further modified on site to reflect local needs.
Participants identified practice changes that could be realized in the short term but most faced significant barriers to implementation in the absence of structured and long-term follow-up.
In this report, we review insights learned from our experience and reflect on strategies for realistic, meaningful, and relevant contributions in the setting of laboratory medicine-oriented short-term programs.
我们于 2019 年 6 月 3 日至 6 月 7 日开展并参与了为期 1 周的实验室医学培训。
培训将每日上午的讲座和病例汇报与下午在临床实验室的实践课程相结合。培训内容由当地组织者和客座教员经过数月的精心挑选,并根据现场情况进一步修改,以反映当地的需求。
参与者确定了可以在短期内实现的实践改变,但大多数人在没有结构化和长期随访的情况下,实施这些改变面临着重大障碍。
在本报告中,我们回顾了从经验中获得的见解,并探讨了在以实验室医学为导向的短期项目中实现切实、有意义和相关贡献的策略。
