V- General Information 1 – Monitoring Of Training and Submission Of Training Reports
You must keep proper and updated records in your logbook to reflect the
activities encountered in your training. Your logbook must be duly endorsed by an
authorized signatory at the end of each semester.
You will be continuously assessed by your supervisors, in consultation
with head of department. An assessment will be submitted within 2 weeks of
completion of each semester.
2 - Miscellaneous Information: Injury and/or Blood or Body Fluid Exposure:
During regular working hours, you should immediately report an exposure incident
to Chemicals or toxins. If exposure occurs after regular working hours or during
a weekend or holiday; please call the supervisor.
3 - Action Completion Of Clinical Training Once all training sessions are completed the log book should be signed by
the senior supervisor and the head of the department and then should be submitted to
post graduate Secretariat.
4- Reference The Training Guide is available at the post graduate Secretariat and could be
downloaded from the following website is ---------------------------------------------------------------
VI – Your log book 1- Introduction
The aim of this book is to give you a guide to the expectations for each
item. It will be a guide for both you and your teachers to what you should be seeing
and doing.
It will give you a list of the important topics that you should think about and
should be covered in:
1. Practical sessions or
2. Tutorials
3. Self-directed learning (SDL)
For each item there is also a list of
Practical procedures to be seen and done
Professional experiences to be done
Remember This document is only a guide. It is not an exhaustive list. It is not just a checklist
to score points. It is a guide to encourage you to read and learn more. This book is
for your benefit. It will form a record of your clinical training and experience.
