RITM-LEARN TRAINING COURSE

A 3-DAY Lecture & Hands-on course on RITM-LEARN. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The online training consists of lectures, video presentations and case discussions designed to review basic principles and updates on HIV and other TTI screening. Pre-recorded lectures and activities will be accessed by participants through the RITM LEARN Learning Management System at a scheduled time. Participants who have completed the two-day training course with its corresponding examination will receive a renewed Certificate of Proficiency.

NOTE: This is a course page dedicated to pre-registration ONLY. The actual training shall be in a separate course page, updates will be sent to your e-mail. 

Medical Technologists for Blood Service Facility (BSF) are required to have a special proficiency skill in testing for HIV and other Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTI) to ensure blood units issued to patients are safe for transfusion. The training would equip medical technologists with knowledge and skill in ensuring that blood for transfusion is tested for common TTIs and released as safe for transfusion. The hybrid training consists of lectures, laboratory work, and demonstrations. The first part of the training is a joint lecture and demonstration of the basic theories and guidelines in relation to HIV and other TTI Testing, which will be accessed through the RITM Learning and Management System. The rest of the course extensively covers bench work on serologic testing, documentation, and quality assurance. The participants will be granted a written practical examination and completion of the panel testing. Participants will be given a Certificate of Proficiency if they have passed a grade of 75% for their overall assessment. In case of failure, a Certificate of Attendance will be given. 

NOTE: THIS COURSE PAGE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR PRE-REGISTRATION PURPOSES; THE ACTUAL TRAINING WILL TAKE PLACE ON A SEPARATE COURSE PAGE, AND ALL UPDATES WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO YOU VIA EMAIL. 

WHONET Online Training is a 10-day online program offered by the Data Management Unit of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Reference Laboratory of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. The training is divided into basic and advanced levels. Participants are expected to initially acquire fundamental knowledge on the basic training. This primary level is intended for new users and can serve as a refresher course.

Learners are encouraged to further develop their skills by engaging in advanced analyses using the SaTScan software for cluster analysis and extracting local microbiology data from automated analyzers through BacLink. The advanced WHONET training covers broader utilization of the software, including data conversion and advanced configuration, to enhance users' proficiency.

All training activities take place online. Participants have access to prepared lecture videos and hands-on exercises focusing on the three main components of the software. The course materials will be available to participants throughout the entire course duration, with a designated day for a synchronous hands-on session conducted on an online platform.

WHONET Online Training offers a 5-hour hands-on workshop facilitated by the Data Management Unit of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Reference Laboratory of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. WHONET training has basic and advanced levels. Participants are expected to initially acquire fundamental knowledge on the basic training. This primary level is intended for new users and can serve as a refresher course.

Learners are encouraged to continue with advanced analyses involving the use of saTScan software for cluster analysis and extraction of local microbiology data from automated analyzers using BacLink. Advanced WHONET will describe the broader utilization of the software to enhance the users’ skills in data conversion and advanced configuration.

The online training consists of lectures on the basic theories and guidelines in relation to blood screening of TTI. Demonstration for laboratory work will be provided in lieu of hands-on laboratory work. Skills will be checked through the provision of Proficiency Testing Panel for the participants to screen in their respective Blood Service Facilities. The participants will be graded through written practical examinations and the completion of the panel testing. Participants will be given a Certificate of Proficiency if they have passed a grade of 75% for their overall assessment. In case of failure, a Certificate of Attendance will be given.

In support to the training program of RITM Medical Department, the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory conducts a three-day blended training course composed of 2 days of didactics session and 1 day of face-to-face laboratory activities. 

One of the key strategies on the Philippine National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2019-2023 includes strengthening surveillance and laboratory capacity. The training module is designed for the delivery of an online training workshop for the bacteriology laboratory professional in hospital who performs the antimicrobial susceptibility testing among aerobic bacteria and analyzes its data. It is designed to be flexible and can be tailored to suit specific aerobic bacteria for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The training shall run for 20 hours under an external facilitator and all trainees are required to participate in online sessions or activities, pre and post assessment tasks.

A virtual training consists of lecture series only, as the target participants are actively working on the routine Real-Time PCR testing for COVID-19, that aims to equip laboratory personnel to diagnose Monkeypox Virus (MPXV)by Real-time PCR.
