Training activity information
Details
Prepare representative patient samples from a range of tissue types and identify the immune response and immunological disease in two of the following:
- Normal immune system
- Primary or secondary immunodeficiency
- Autoimmune disease
- Transplant rejection
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
- Differences between the types of physiological and pathological processes
- Associated normal and disease states
- Microscopical differences between normal tissue morphology and tissue undergoing these processes
- Local SOPs
- RCPath tissue pathways and cancer datasets
- Selection of histochemical, immunohistochemical, immunological and molecular techniques to demonstrate different cell types involved in the immune response
