MEDR930ASeminars and Conferences
Seminars and conferences represent both a learning and assessment tool knowing that the theoretical education of the resident remains mostly a personal work that begins with reading books and articles, preparing conferences and is ongoing with continuing medical education and self­learning (erudition). During development, the “apprentice doctors” must initially attend and listen to their elders, then submit records to the staff, then present lectures to peers and seniors locally (hospital) and in a local congress and finally in an international congress. In parallel and concerning teaching, it begins with clinical teaching to the youngest and finishes during university courses.

Mission

The mission of the residency in clinical biology is the training of physicians who are specialized in the field of laboratory medicine and who can contribute to the healthcare system of the country by acting as support to other clinical specialties. Moreover, the aim of the program is to graduate specialized doctors with the appropriate skills and knowledge and with ethics in line with the mission of the Lebanese Maronite Order (O.L.M.).

Program Educational Objectives

1. Graduates will be able to manage a laboratory in both the private and/or hospital setting.
2. Graduates may also ultimately work in the polyvalent, specialized or research tracks.
3. Graduates will be able to use both the fundamental and specialized knowledge for the processing of and the validation of the interpretation of various laboratory tests.
4. Graduates will be able to function in multidisciplinary teams in respect to ethical codes of the profession.

Program Outcomes

a. The Students of the residency in clinical pathology will have both the fundamental and specialized knowledge for the processing and the clinical interpretation of various laboratory tests.
b. Aid the patient’s primary treating team in reaching a diagnosis in the most appropriate and efficient ways.
c. Acquire communication skills to ensure proper collaboration with other health care professionals in a multi­disciplinary setting.
d. Be trained to take responsibility, recognize limitations and be ethical in their dealings with colleagues and patients.
e. The students will master the management and the organizational operations of the laboratory.
f. There will also be an emphasis on quality assurance and the judicious use of available resources and finances.
g. They will learn to stay up to date by critically reading literature and studies relevant to the specialty and will be encouraged and taught to contribute to the medical literature by conducting research and writing medical papers.
