I was asked if I might
produce a series of slides for competency assessments. I was rather happy to do
so… it’s easier said than done though.
How many slides do we
need? I went for twenty, but at five minutes per slide that’s going to take two
hours per assessment.
What cases should we
cover? What cases have we got in the teaching slides… Has anyone sorted the
teaching slides for a while?
Back in the day I
compiled a series of teaching slides by sticking what I considered to be an
interesting case into a slide tray with a plan to sort it later… and I would
forget about it. So consequently when I came to sort the myriad of slides I’d
piled up I had a few dozen cases of iron deficient anaemia, a few dozen cases
of CLL, and a few dozen slides with frankly horrific looking blast cells. All
of which were rather faded.
Fortunately we had
quite a variety of cases in the teaching slides. I’ve managed to get eight
different slides which are predominantly red cell issues, eight which are
predominantly white cell issues, one thrombocytosis, one thrombocytopenia, one
with clumps, and one unremarkable one.
Getting a selection was
tricky. Now I’ve got to come up with standard (correct) answers…
I quite like making
myself useful like this…
