Dear Colleagues,
May I bring the Clinical Chemistry Trainee Council, a FREE web-based Educational Program (www.traineecouncil.org), to the attention of Trainees and Mentors in the profession?
The journal Clinical Chemistry recently launched this new worldwide initiative and offers
- a variety of educational materials including Clinical Case Studies,
- Q&A (a virtual roundtable discussion among a group of experts about a hot topic),
- the Guide to Scientific Writing (a series of 14 articles)'
- Webcasts (lectures by leading international scientists),
- Pearls of Laboratory Medicine (15 minute presentations about a laboratory test), and
- CouncilChat (a chat room directed by 6 junior faculty members from around the world).
- more than 120 popular podcasts, which have been downloaded over 450,000 times in the last 2.5 years.
In addition, the journal periodically publishes interviews with world scientific leaders and articles about prominent clinical chemists (Inspiring Minds) that can serve as an inspiration to young scientists. The focus of the Council is broadening to include lectures and educational materials in all disciplines of laboratory medicine including microbiology, transfusion medicine, molecular diagnostics and hematology.
In addition, later this autumn, the Council will launch a questions bank in laboratory medicine for those preparing for board certification or specialist exams in the US and the UK and elsewhere.
This program is currently available in its entirety in English and Spanish and will be launched in Chinese and Russian this year and in Arabic, Japanese and Portuguese next year with the hope of becoming a primary educational resource for laboratory medicine trainees worldwide.
To register in the Council and gain access to all the materials free of charge go to www.traineecouncil.org; it takes less than a minute!!
Regards, Rita
