A. Interpersonal skills
- It is important as a medical technologist to have good interpersonal skills. As
one of the most crucial tasks of a MT is to collect blood from the patients,
and most of the time patients are anxious about this especially pediatric,
geriatric, and sometimes even adults. Thus, it is essential to have strong
social skills as this could help in reducing stress, not only to the patients but
to the Medical Technologist as well. And it can also increase patients’
satisfaction. Apart from this, in Histopathology section, you are also working
with the Pathologists that requires you to be confident in talking with them
but still respectful.
- In my 2-week stay in the histopathology section of the Davao Doctors’
Hospital, I’ve been with the staffs assigned to the section and I’ve worked
with different interns from SPC and DDC. And gladly, I easily made friends
with them despite of the differences we’ve had. Along with, we’ve made a
great team working together in learning more about the section and in times
that problems arise.
