In the Winter Quarter, 1977, case histories were introduced into the Diagnostic Microbiology course of the Medical Technology curriculum at the University of Minnesota. The primary goal was to increase the students' exposure to patients and patients' illnesses and to emphasize the role and responsibilities of technologists and clinical laboratories to these patients. This goal seems to have been met as indicated by an evaluation received from the students, since 58.3 percent believed they better understood the role of the technologist and clinical laboratory in patient care. Other side benefits we hoped to achieve seem to have been partially met. These included: 1) association of infectious processes with other laboratory results; 2) a feeling of integration with the patient and health care team; and 3) the introduction of medical terminology.
1977年冬季学期，病例史被引入明尼苏达大学医学技术课程的诊断微生物学课程中。主要目标是增加学生接触患者和患者疾病的机会，并强调技术人员和临床实验室对这些患者的作用和责任。从学生的评估来看，这个目标似乎已经实现，因为58.3%的学生认为他们更好地理解了技术人员和临床实验室在患者护理中的作用。我们希望实现的其他附带好处似乎也部分得到了满足。这些好处包括：1）将感染过程与其他实验室结果联系起来；2）与患者和医疗团队融为一体的感觉；3）医学术语的引入。
