devoted to directly supervised trammg.
Service work, which is an important part of
training, should be graduated in difficulty and
should match the skills and knowledge of the
trainee at that point in time.
5.5 The trainee should keep his/her personal log–
book or equivalent up to date according to
national rules and European Union directives,
as well as UEMS/European Board recommen–
dations.
5.6 Clinical training in intemal medicine or a
closely -related speciaity ismandatory for one
year. The clinical training should provide
first-hand knowledge about the role of the
laboratory in clinical diagnostic strategies and
improved knowledge of the needs of the
health seetar that should be catered for by the
Jaboratory.
