V. Laboratory Training and Rotation :
Each candidates shall undergo training in laboratories, of all the three subjects.
Minimum duration of training in each subject shall be of clear 90 days (i.e. excluding
Holidays etc.).
This period shall be utilized to help the candidates in learning practical and behavioral skills.
All the candidates will be divided into three batches. Then each batch will undergo training
in the three laboratories by rotation. Each candidate has to keep a record of his/her work
during training period. This period of training shall be utilized for helping the candidates to
learn the following :
1. Preparation and preservation of various reagents, stock standard solutions, buffer
solutions, anticoagulants for agulant solutions and bulbs for sample collection.
2. Use, care and maintenance of basic equipments, instruments and glass
wares.
3. Collection of samples of patients, receiving and registering the samples
from wards.
4. Processing, recording and reporting of results.
5. Interpersonal relations and communication with doctors, nurses,
wardboys, patients, colleagues and superiors.
