Expectations for rotations • How you can participate
History • U of MN program started in 1923 • One of the first programs in the country
U of MN Program in CLS • Lectures and theory at U • Student labs to develop laboratory skills
Goal Of Clinical Rotations Clinical rotations are applied experience • Patient Contact • Health Care Team • Overall laboratory –share your experience of being a laboratorian • S/N
Creativity in rotation • Decrease number of weeks • Increase utilization of non-metro sites
Creativity in rotation-cont’d • Transfusion Medicine • Partner transfusion medicine rotations with hospital lab and Red Cross and Memorial blood center.
Creativity in rotation-cont’d • Hematology • Students spend 3 weeks at smaller setting and 1 week in special coagulation/special hematology at Fairview University
Creativity in rotation-cont’d • Chemistry • Limited chemistry rotations bring student back to Fairview University labs for special chemistry for last week
Creativity in rotation-cont’d • LEAN workflow, combine into an 8 week rotation for chem and heme
Creativity in rotation-cont’d • Reference laboratories
Utilize all Laboratories • Experience clinical laboratory setting • Laboratory as integral part of healthcare
Quote from Student • I was skeptical of the use of doing a non-metro rotation, but now that I’m done with it, I’m really glad I had the opportunity. Working in a smaller hospital really gave me a good look at how a hospital works, along with how a lab works, on a smaller scale. If I would have only worked in large hospitals, I don’t think I would have had the opportunity to draw blood from a patient, walk the sample to the lab, run it through the analyzer and look at the results. It really gave me a connection to the patient, instead of seeing them as a tube of blood.
Quote from Student Rotations are great. They are much better then I expected. I was kinda scared to be responsible for running the tests but it all turned out fine. Everyone is nice and friendly and makes the learning a whole lot easier. Even though we learned all the principles in class every hospital has their own way of doing things.
Summary • Learn in a variety of settings • All of you can provide that experience
