Training activity information

Details

Identify two cases that require molecular diagnostic follow up work and recommend appropriate assays

Type

Developmental training activity (DTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.

An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.

Considerations

  • Cases which require molecular diagnosis, such as family studies needed, targeted treatment, prognosis.
  • Limitations of molecular diagnostic assays

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 1 Outcome

Select and perform a range of assays for the investigation of primary and secondary immunodeficiency, including a range of flow cytometry assays.

# 2 Outcome

Interpret and report on laboratory investigations that enumerate components of this immune system and its function in light of clinical details and other laboratory tests.
