Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Laboratory Science
  • Healthcare Simulation

Background:

  • Transitioning from academic laboratory settings to clinical practice presents challenges for Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) students.
  • A gap often exists between theoretical knowledge and practical application in a clinical environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a clinical laboratory practice simulation experience designed for CLS students.
  • The goal was to enhance the transition from the student laboratory to the clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved a baccalaureate-level CLS program at the University of Kentucky Center for Rural Health.
  • A clinical laboratory practice simulation was implemented to familiarize students with the clinical environment.
  • Faculty used the simulation to assess student performance and provide feedback in a controlled setting.

Main Results:

  • Graduates of the CLS program reported that the simulation experience effectively prepared them for clinical practice.
  • The simulation provided a bridge between academic learning and the demands of a professional clinical laboratory.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical laboratory simulation is a valuable tool for improving the transition to actual clinical practice.
  • Simulation effectively identifies and addresses pre-clinical deficiencies in CLS students.
