Training activity information
Details
Select the appropriate immunological assay to investigate individuals with potential plasma cell dyscrasia
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Assays for the investigation of haematological malignancy
- Factors affecting the selection of appropriate immunological assays for plasma cell dyscrasias
- National and International guidelines for diagnostic testing of plasma cell dyscrasias
