Incorporating A Structured Writing Process into Existing CLS Curricula
Summary
Writing-intensive assignments enhance communication and critical thinking for Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) students. This approach better prepares graduates for professional roles, as confirmed by faculty and employers.
Area of Science:
- Medical Laboratory Science Education
- Professional Skills Development
Background:
- Effective communication and critical thinking are vital for Clinical Laboratory Science/Medical Laboratory Science (CLS/MLS) professionals.
- Integrating writing assignments into CLS/MLS curricula can enhance these essential skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the implementation of writing-intensive assignments in a CLS program.
- To evaluate the impact of these assignments on student communication and critical thinking skills.
Main Methods:
- Incorporation of formal, informal, and reflective writing assignments into an 11-month academic year.
- Utilized scenario-focused assignments, assessment rubrics, structured feedback, and revision methodologies.
- Focused on a CLS program at a public academic medical center in the central US.
Main Results:
- Writing-intensive assignments improved students' ability to articulate responses, research, and synthesize information.
- Faculty and employers reported enhanced preparedness of graduates in communication and critical thinking.
Conclusions:
- Writing-intensive curricula effectively improve essential professional skills for CLS/MLS practitioners.
- This pedagogical approach better prepares students for the demands of the medical laboratory profession.

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.

1.5K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
4.3K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.

Consider an arbitrary truss structure composed of diagonal, vertical, and horizontal members fixed to the wall. To calculate the force acting on members CB, GB, and GH, method of sections can be used. The loads and lengths of the horizontal and vertical members are known parameters, as shown in the figure.

Consider a symmetrical roof truss structure, composed of vertical, diagonal, and horizontal members. The length of each horizontal member is 4 m. The lengths of the vertical members FB and HD are 4 m, while the length of member GC is 6 m. The loads acting at joints F, G, and H are 2 kN, while those at joints A and E are 1 kN.
