Abstract

Seven medical technologists and medical laboratory technicians employed at a small, rural hospital laboratory located in the Midwest participated in this project. The purpose of this project was to determine if the use of Kolb's experiential learning cycle improved understanding of critical values by laboratory testing personnel in a clinical laboratory setting. When the differences of the posttest and the pretest scores were analyzed, it suggested that the understanding of critical values did not increase with the majority of the laboratory testing personnel who participated in this learning exercise.
