assigned to the Water Analysis department where in I learned to prepare the bottles that will be
used to test the sterility of the water from different clients.

the pipette. In the afternoon, I was assigned to Clinical Chemistry. I was hands-on in doing the
paper works and endorsing in different parts of the whole hospital.

experienced giving results to the patients who needed them. It was an ecstatic experience.

On the first half of the day I was assigned to the Histopathology department where I learned how
to prepare the smear samples from the biopsy which the professional doctors will look into the
microscope. The second half of the day I was at the Hematology department. I observed on how
they take tests on blood samples and how they produce smear samples of it.

For the last day I was placed on Parasitology and Urology which were located the whole day. For
the whole day we endorsed their results in fecalysis and urinalysis to the different parts of the
hospital. I also learned to detect different pathogens just by looking at the microscopic images of
the stool samples. I was very happy of this experience.
