Participants included five clinical laboratory science students. The data collection and analysis process included multiple interviews, student clinical preceptorship journals, student service learning journals, and a researcher's journal. The constant comparison method was used throughout the study as themes and patterns emerged from the raw data and were discovered.1 Findings indicated that participants believed that IPE helped reduce professional hierarchy, promoted equality and respect and maximized interprofessional collaboration between the health professions. Themes that supported IPE were comprised of: hierarchal environment, mutual respect, forming and maintaining an identity, and sharing content knowledge. The results from this study reveal how an interprofessional curriculum can unite clinical laboratory science students with other health professions students early in their formative years to address the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of a disjointed health care team that negatively affects health care in the United States today.

In this report we discuss a case of a 26-year-old female healthcare worker who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms of persistent fevers, chills, headaches, nausea, and malaise. The patient's history was obtained and several laboratory tests were performed leading to the diagnosis of malaria caused by Plasmodium ovale. The rapid diagnostic test for malaria was negative, and the Giemsa – stained peripheral blood smears were positive for the presence of malarial parasites. Images of the peripheral blood smears were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which confirmed the presence of Plasmodium ovale. We also report 5 other false negative RDTs for P. ovale in our institution in 2016, and the performance of RDTs for all malaria cases during that year. This case demonstrates the importance of obtaining multiple pieces of laboratory data in order to accurately diagnose a patient with malaria, illustrates that evaluation of Giemsa – stained peripheral blood smears is still the gold standard in the laboratory diagnosis of malaria, and emphasizes the importance for clinical laboratory scientists to maintain maximum competency in peripheral blood smear evaluation for bloodborne parasites.

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), a portion of the EHR, are the main avenue for laboratory staff to store data and provide laboratory results to health care providers. This paper examines the implementation of an LIS in an institution where simulated laboratories are the core of Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) education. The LIS was introduced in a simulated laboratory course taught to 18 students in the 3rd year of a 4-year program. After 10 weeks, students were given a questionnaire rating the software's ease of use. Students rated the software as fairly easy (38.9%), easy (50%) and very easy (11.1%). Dislikes included manually inputting results, slow software navigation, and the use of older laptop computers. The ease of patient identification through generating labels, and the absence of paper reports were expressed as positive aspects. Ordering tests, adding tests, editing results, and printing extra labels were listed as areas where students desired more practice. Overall, students welcomed exposure to the software with an 88.9% responding its use better simulated a laboratory environment. Based on student feedback, modifications were made with subsequent groups. Wireless Internet was switched to a wired connection. The purchase of an interface minimized data entry. The LIS was implemented in lower division MLS courses to maximize exposure. Future considerations involve the purchase of more interfaces, continued faculty training, and using the LIS as a tool for case study analysis.

To prepare students for entry level practice and careers in the clinical laboratory profession, MLT and MLS educators need to continually review their curricula to decide what should be added or deleted. Decisions about deleting content are difficult but important in order to avoid curriculum saturation and to facilitate learning. This article presents a rationale for deleting some content and an algorithm that can guide decisions about what to teach and what not to teach.

However, rather than relying on laws to force employers and academic leaders to choose fairness, workplaces can take steps to proactively encourage diversity and thereby increase workplace satisfaction and productivity. They can begin by clearly outlining in company handbooks the plan to enforce laws that establish and maintain inclusivity. Universities and employers can take further steps to instill a positive environment by including all employees and students when recognizing holidays and important commemorative occasions. Employers and academic institutions can organize or encourage participation in celebratory walks or runs and it can recommend or require diversity training by its employees or students. Health care facilities, above all, should lead efforts to support diversity in the workplace since health is about humanity as a whole and not about select groups. There are numerous organizations, websites, events, and other ideas that can help universities and employers seeking to better understand diverse populations and to encourage understanding among students and employees.
