Basic Malaria Microscopy - Pt. 2 : Tutor's Guide

This manual supports a system for training health workers and laboratory staff to become proficient in the microscopic diagnosis of malaria.

The system deals with each step of the diagnostic routine in the correct sequence, encouraging trainees to build skills and confidence via a sequence of steps that mirror the day-to-day routine in their future jobs.

Emphasizing the advantages of learning by doing, the training programme relies heavily on the use of learning techniques such as role-play, group discussions, field work, and supervized practice sessions, with lecture presentations kept to a minimum.

The two manuals are intended for use during a formal period of training lasting six weeks or less and structured around 12 learning units.

A detailed day-to-day and session-by-session model timetable is included in this "Tutor's Guide".
