Significance of HLA in Transplantation and Transfusion
Personal learning log: Significance of HLA in Transplantation and Transfusion
The personal learning log enables you as a biomedical scientist to evidence the specialist knowledge attained from each learning topic. This type of assessment reflects the evidence used by the IBMS in their competency portfolios, and for further qualifications, such as their Specialist Diploma.
You are required to write a log for every ‘Learning Topic’ within your module apart from the first introductory topic. Topics are listed within the ‘Study Programme’ in the ‘Learning Materials’ folder. All of your logs should be included within a single document, (.doc or .rtf file), in topic order and given a clear title and topic number. The word count for each topic is ‘900’ words. Therefore if you have a total of 12 learning topics in your module the total word count for your document should not exceed 11,000 words +/- 10%.
Each learning topic log should include the following:
- A reflective introduction to the learning topic (33% of the marks are allocated for this):
For the full marks to be given, this should include a detailed, critically reflective and scholarly account of how you went about engaging with the module learning outcomes, and what this engagement has meant to you in terms of improving your professional practice. For example, for each learning topic you need to demonstrate that you have reflected on your learning by
including the following within your log:
- Indicate what you knew already about this topic; what you have learned that is new; and how this will influence your practice as a biomedical scientist?
Where relevant, demonstrate an understanding of the scientific basis for tests and disease and an awareness of factors affecting sample integrity, risks associated with the sample reagents, or method and other tests indicated by the outcome of the analysis.
- Indicate what you knew already about this topic; what you have learned that is new; and how this will influence your practice as a biomedical scientist?
- A question and answer that is relevant to the learning topic (33% of the marks are allocated for this):
Look at some of the examples detailed within ‘weak’ and ‘excellent’ sample logs provided in the documents attached to give yourself an idea of what you need to do.
- An up to date reference list, (a maximum of five papers), relating to each of the learning topics (33% of the marks are allocated for this): Your chosen references should be your own and not ones that are provided in our bibliography and lecture reference
lists – no books or websites please, ‘peer reviewed papers’ only. You need to provide a summary for three of the papers you choose and should also state why you have chosen your papers and whether you consider the data in a particular paper represents a small advance or a significant advance in your opinion. Note your references must be quoted in full Harvard style or you will lose marks!
