2. I give thanks to Almighty God, who gave me the gift of
life, and made everything possible. I express my
appreciation to my supervisor Dr liamngee kator for his
expert supervising role in ensuring that this work meets its
standards. May the Lord bless you with more wisdom
My appreciation also goes to the HOD Clinical Laboratory
Department of Emory specialist hospital.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE SIWES ACHIEVED
 It aims to expose and prepare one for the industrial work situation they are likely
to meet after graduation.
 It provides an avenue for one to acquire industrial skills.
 It exposes one to techniques/methods in handling equipment and media that
cannot be handled in the class.
 It aims to give one the opportunity to apply the theory learnt in school in form of
practical, as such bridging the gap between theory and practical.
 It helps to strengthen the employers’ involvement in the entire educational sector.

6. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF PLACE OFATTACHMENT
 THE LABORATORY
A laboratory is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific
or technological research, experiments and measurements may be performed.
Laboratory services are provided in a variety settings, physicians’ offices, clinics,
hospitals and regional and national referred centers.
Laboratories used for scientific research take many forms because of the
differing requirements of specialists in the various fields of science and engineering.
The medical laboratory consists of different sections which includes; Reception,
Phlebotomy, Hematology, Serology, Clinical biochemistry and Chemical Pathology,
Microbiology, Parasitological Sections.

7. THE PHLEBOTOMY SECTION
Phlebotomy is the process of making a puncture in a vein with a cannula
(needle) for the purpose of collecting/taking blood. The procedure is known as veni-
puncture. The phlebotomy section of a medical laboratory is a section where blood
samples are collected or taken for diverse medical diagnosis, transfusions, donations
or research. Blood sample maybe collected by performing venipuncture or capillary
method (for minute quantities of blood). The amount of blood collected depends on
the purpose of the phlebotomy.

8. MICROBIOLOGY DIVISION:
1. Gram staining
2. Antibiotic Sensitivity test
3. Urine M/C/S
4. Preparation of culture media
5. Stool M/C/S
6. High Vaginal Swab (HVS) M/C/S

9. HEMATOLOGY SECTION
The word hematology is derived from a Greek word HEM which means blood and LOGY meaning study. Hematology is said to
be the scientific study of the blood compositions, formations, functions, and diseases related to blood. The main function of
hematology in a medical laboratory is to detect blood disorders such as anemia, leukemia, to assist in the accurate characterization
and diagnosis of these disorder so that appropriate treatment can be given and to monitor the
 progress of the patient treatment. In general, in a medical laboratory, a hematology section is concerned with the abnormalities
of the constituent of blood, the plasma and blood cells. Blood grouping ,Packed cell volume (PCV)
 Genotype
 Platelet Count
 Blood Grouping (TYPING)
 Retroviral screening test.

10. SEROLOGY
 This section deals with the use of serum for investigation of viral and bacterial
infections such as Widal test, Retroviral screening test (RVST), Helicobacter pylori
test, Syphilis test and Hepatitis A, B and C virus test. Some of the tests are also
carried out in Emory Specialist Hospital Serology department including:
 Widal test
 Retroviral screening test (RVST)
 Helicobacter pylori test
 Syphilis test
 Hepatitis B test

11. CONCLUSION
 My Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (Industrial Training) at Emory Hospital Makurdi was interesting and
educative. I was able to practice the theory I had learnt to gain hands on experience of my course particularly in medical
microbiology. I was exposed to the clinical aspect of microbiology. The comprehensive way of looking out for the particular
microorganism that is the causative agent of a disease condition and the particular antibiotic (s) that will be used for treatment.
LEARNING CHALLENGES OF THE SIWES EXPERIENCE
 During my SIWES program, I encountered a lot of hurdles of which effects I received without little or no change. Some of
the obstacles I encountered are stated below:
 Getting a training center for my SIWES. It wasn't an easy task getting a standard and we'll equipped facility like Emory
Hospital Makurdi to accept me as an additional I.T student seeing that I wasn't the only one applying to the organization.
 I was restricted to learning only the tests that was regularly conducted for the patient's and using only the equipment the
hospital had available on ground.
