Alfaisal University CoM,\u00a0Basic Laboratory Skills Program \u2013BLSP, would like to share its latest\u00a0scientific and\u00a0innovative achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasic science research plays a pivotal role in advancing healthcare diagnostics and\u00a0therapeutics. In today\u2019s 21st century, proficiency in basic science research is rapidly\u00a0emerging as a fundamental competency to all medical graduates. Unfortunately, in Saudi\u00a0Arabia, few medical students express interest in basic science research. This can be\u00a0attributed to insufficient exposure to scientific research in curriculum and failure to realize\u00a0the central value of basic science research. There is a pressing need to establish curricular and extra-curricular initiatives to spike the interest and enhance the basic science research\u00a0skills among medical students.\u00a0Basic Laboratory Skills Program (BLSP) is a Program that is\u00a0being conducted at Alfaisal\u00a0University laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Khaled Al-Kattan and the supervision of Dr. Dana Bakheet. This Program is a collaboration between Undergraduate\u00a0Research Committee (URC), SMILE cancer support group and Alfaisal University laboratory.\u00a0BLSP is established to teach basic science skills that are deemed necessary to medical students in order to function with high confidence in most laboratory settings. Students will be taught a list of essential basic science skills in a hybrid module consisting of interactive lectures, interactive videos, extensive hands-on bench training, and continuous assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
