Training activity information

Details

Observe molecular techniques being carried out in the laboratory and reflect on the techniques

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

  • For example, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) typing, chimerism analysis, DNA extraction, DNA quantification
  • Appreciate the range of techniques practiced in the laboratory
