Description
Vineetha Ramdas Nayak and five co-authors evaluate an elective course. It places medical students inside the hospital biochemistry laboratory to watch how testing works. Clinical laboratory shadowing was designed by biochemistry faculty for third-year students. It covers laboratory processes end to end. Total quality management is part of the course. Twenty-one students from two batches volunteered. That is a small, self-selected cohort.
Test scores rose a lot after the module. Between eighty-four and ninety-five percent of students rated the elective as well planned, with good materials. Feedback forms and two focus groups gave the views and the targets for improvement. The authors present shadowing as a cheap way to train future doctors. It makes them literate in the laboratory they will order tests from each day. Few electives cost so little and teach so much of daily use.
