Continuing education for laboratory personnel.

This study investigates the status of continuing education for laboratory personnel in West Virginia. From a total of 1,155 questionnaires mailed to 90 laboratories, 638 completed questionnaires were returned. Ninety-six and six-tenths percent of the survey population (616 responses) expressed a desire for continuing education programs, but only 416 persons (65.2 percent) indicated that they had attended at least one continuing education program in the past five years. Only 15.8 percent of the survey population (101 persons) indicated they had ever attended continuing education programs sponsored by West Virginia University. Based on the information obtained, a model program for continuing education is submitted.

Job analysis in the clinical laboratory.

Questionnaires were sent to 111 hospitals located within a 100-mile radius of Morgantown, West Virginia. In the 55 responding hospitals, 1,532 laboratory workers were employed; of this total, 399 were MT(ASCP), 55 were MLT(ASCP), 262 were CLA(ASCP), and 816 were not certified by the Board of Registry of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP). Participating hospital laboratory directors were asked to distribute task inventories to medical technologists and to individuals not certified as MT(ASCP). One hundred sixty-five task inventories were completed and returned for analysis. Using the chi square test, comparison was made between the tasks performed by ASCP-certified medical technologists and ASCP-certified laboratory assistants. Both performed essentially the same tasks in the clinical laboratories included in this study. In the final analysis, teaching and supervision were performed more frequently by MTs than by CLAs.
