In a move set to revolutionize the preparation of pre-clinical students, Comr. Okon Victor, a leading candidate for the presidency of the Nigerian Medical Laboratory Science Students Association (NIMELSSA), at Abia State University Uturu (ABSU), has pledged to provide essential practical training to Medlab pre-clinical students before they embark on their clinical rotations at the University Teaching Hospital.
Addressing the 200-level class at the Medical Laboratory Science Complex, Uturu Main Campus, Okon outlined his vision to integrate weekend and free-time practical sessions. These sessions aim to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, giving students a significant edge in their future careers. "In our profession, it's not just about knowing the theory; it's also about being able to apply that knowledge in the real world. By introducing these practical sessions, we are giving you the opportunity to develop your skills and gain valuable basic experience before you even set foot in the hospital," Okon emphasized.
Okon’s initiative also includes opportunities for students to participate in outreach programs, providing them with hands-on experience in laboratory practice. This approach is designed to enhance their practical skills and ensure they are well-prepared for the challenges of clinical rotations.
