Following the pilot study, the manufacturer changed their fabricating procedures. Participants with previously diagnosed CF or participants who required a sweat test for clinical reasons were invited to undergo the CFQT research test and a conventional sweat test (Macroduct collection and chloride analysis via the ChloroChek chloridometer). Previously diagnosed CF (<i>n</i> = 41) and CF transmembrane regulator–related metabolic syndrome/CF screen positive inconclusive diagnosis (<i>n</i> = 3) patients and patients who required a sweat test for clinical indications (<i>n</i> = 22) were recruited to have bilateral CFQT along with the Macroduct test performed on the same day. Pairs of data from each test were plotted as a correlation graph, bias plot, and Bland Altman plot. Coefficient of variation (CV) between extremities and quantity-not-sufficient (QNS) rates for both tests were calculated. The CV between left and right extremities was greater in the CFQT (9.5%) compared with the Macroduct (4.8%). The QNS rates of the two tests were comparable (CFQT, 6.8%; Macroduct, 6.0%). There was greater imprecision with the CFQT results. The diagnostic agreement between the two tests was 100% positive percent agreement (95% confidence interval [CI], 90%–100%), 100% negative percent agreement (95% CI, 80%–100%), 67% intermediate percent agreement (95% CI, 30%–80%), and 92% overall percent agreement (95% CI, 80%–100%).

After review of the ASCLS Body of Knowledge, 9 clearly stated objectives in acid-base studies were distilled, and 2 Brief Intentional Teachings to Encourage Success (BITES) were created. These BITES are a form of microlearning, wherein students take 10- to 20-minute chunks of time to learn a brief topic. Five objectives are defined, and review questions are asked to stimulate active recall and retrieval. At the end, 3 questions are asked that require application of the knowledge gained over the previous 10–20 minutes. Three surveys were given to all students at different points in time to assess the efficacy and acceptance of BITES; Post-lecture (Pre-BITES) Questionnaire (PLQ), Post-BITES Questionnaire (PBQ), and Post–3-month Questionnaire (P3Q). In comparing the PLQ and the PBQ, 8 correct answers were recalled more often in the PBQ, and 3 correct answers were recalled more often in the PLQ. All correct answers were recalled more often in the P3Q than the PLQ. The question, “I enjoyed these BITES,” was answered with 1 “no” and 5 “yes” and received the following scores: 0 answered 1, 0 answered 2, 3 answered 3, 8 answered 4, and 11 answered 5. The question, “I preferred learning with…”, indicated that all students but 1 preferred BITES over lecture. As we continue to master our craft of teaching, we learn that MLS students prefer learning with BITES in a traditional lecture-based classroom and that durable learning was accomplished over 3 months with their use. Further studies are required to see if BITES improve student engagement.","PeriodicalId":72611,"journal":{"name":"Clinical laboratory science : journal of the American Society for Medical Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136119698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the impact of this change on American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (BOC) examination performance. <h3>METHODS:</h3> We compared BOC scores for 119 MLS graduates with 6-week clinical rotation lengths in chemistry, microbiology, and hematology (2009–2013) and 127 MLS graduates with 5-week rotation lengths in these disciplines (2014–2018). We evaluated first-time pass rates, overall certification scores, specific discipline scores, and student rotation length satisfaction surveys. <h3>RESULTS:</h3> Mean ± SD overall BOC scores for 6-week rotations (547 ± 74) were not significantly different from overall BOC scores for 5-week rotations. Similarly, there was no significant effect on BOC scores for chemistry, microbiology, or hematology. The mean first-time pass rate for 6-week rotations was 97% compared with 96% for 5-week rotations. Student satisfaction surveys received from 282 out of 307 (92%) students during 2014–2018 indicated that the 5-week rotation length was adequate. <h3>CONCLUSION:</h3> Reducing rotation length had no detrimental effect on BOC scores or student satisfaction. These findings allowed us to respond to changing patterns in laboratory medicine. Beginning in 2018, students will receive a 1-week rotation in 1 of 6 molecular diagnostic testing laboratories, including hematopathology, virology, microbiology, genetics, and blood-bank. These rotations may be expanded as laboratory testing moves in this direction.","PeriodicalId":72611,"journal":{"name":"Clinical laboratory science : journal of the American Society for Medical Technology","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136121518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary goal of this addition was to increase student engagement during review sessions. In previous years, each Immunology class was started with a review of material from an earlier lecture. The review consisted of short-answer and multiple-choice questions as a means to highlight important concepts and allow additional opportunities for students to ask questions. During these review periods, it was observed that class participation ranged from 3%–20%. Additionally, those who did participated were the same students in each class period. The incorporation of the game-based learning platform into review sessions involved asking review questions in multiple-choice format with 30 seconds of time for students to answer after each question was asked. This new format resulted in class participation increasing to 95%–100%. Review of student answers also allowed the instructor to determine which areas the students needed additional assistance with before exams. Student feedback indicated that they enjoyed the ability to be anonymous when answering questions while still getting immediate feedback. This new review format will be utilized in additional courses, specifically Immunohematology. Furthermore, this game-based platform will be used to review material with senior students in their advanced senior-level courses.","PeriodicalId":72611,"journal":{"name":"Clinical laboratory science : journal of the American Society for Medical Technology","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136121522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
