The need for an orientation course on the use of clinical laboratories.
A recent study in our institution has confirmed a relationship between lack of adequate undergraduate exposure to the clinical laboratories and subsequent negative attitudes and improper use of these laboratories by medical graduates. An orientation course on the use of the clinical laboratories is here proposed, for new medical graduates, at the commencement of internship training, to help remedy this defect and improve usage of the laboratories.
