    Author: St John EC, Kanuth MS.
    Journal: Clin Lab Sci; 2006; 19(2):117-21. PubMed ID: 16749247.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To enable place-bound working clinical laboratory technicians (CLTs) to benefit from hands-on student laboratory sessions taught in University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) facilities by UTMB professors. DESIGN: Weekend student laboratory sessions similar to "wet workshops" were implemented and integrated into regular coursework. Student laboratory sessions of 12 hours to 16 hours in length were provided. SETTING: The UTMB student laboratories. PARTICIPANTS: Web-based education in Clinical Laboratory Science (WEBCLS) students who are working CLTs in rural place-bound situations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Course grades and certification examination scores on laboratory and comprehensive examinations given to both on-campus students and WEBCLS students. RESULTS: Of 68 WEBCLS students enrolled in laboratory courses during the calendar years 2003, 2004, and 2005, 66.2% earned grades of A or B in the course compared with 64.2% of students enrolled in the same laboratory courses on-campus. Over a three year period, the WEBCLS students averaged 564.8 on certification exam scores, while on-campus students averaged 470.9.
