Medical Laboratory Technology Clinical Training Handbook 2021-2022

Service Work Statement

Students are not allowed to perform service work. After competency is attained, students are required to continue performing in a particular area to gain additional efficiency but must remain under indirect supervision.

Student activities at clinical affiliates are limited to the approved rotations specified in their current learning plan. Students may NOT be assigned to work in place of absent personnel. Qualified laboratory staff must supervise all procedural activities of students, either directly or indirectly. The utilization of students as substitutes for missing staff is, therefore, clearly inappropriate and prohibited.
