Expert Lecture: TLM Students Explore Typhoid Diagnosis With ELISA Method

The D4 Medical Laboratory Technology (TLM) Study Program at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta held an expert lecture on Medical Laboratory Technology in the field of clinical chemistry: Gastrointestinal Expert Lecture 2024. This event was held online via zoom meeting and live YouTube of the Medical Laboratory Technology study program at Unisa Yogyakarta, on Wednesday (17/01).

This expert lecture presented Dr. Tong Woei Yenn from Universiti Kuala Lumpur as the main speaker with the theme “Diagnosis Confirmation of Typhoid Fever Through Anti-Salmonella Detection Using ELISA Method”. The event was hosted by Moderator Tita Liana Kusria Nur Pradana, TLM student class of 2021.

In her remarks, Monika Putri Solikah, S.ST., M. Biomed, the coordinator in charge of the Gastrointestinal Laboratory Examination course, expressed her appreciation for the presence of Dr. Tong Woei Yenn. She also officially opened the 2024 Gastrointestinal expert lecture.

Dr. Tong Woei Yenn comprehensively reviewed the Diagnosis Confirmation of Typhoid Fever Through Anti-Salmonella Detection Using ELISA Method. The material presented included Type ELISA, sensitivity, specificity, sampling procedures, examination steps, as well as crucial things that must be considered and interpretation of the results.

This expert lecture is a clear proof of the commitment of the TLM study program at UNISA Yogyakarta in advancing health science and providing in-depth understanding to students. Focusing on the science of clinical chemistry, especially in the diagnosis of typhoid using the ELISA method, this event creates a generation of competent medical laboratory personnel.

The enthusiasm of the students was very visible, as evidenced by the many questions asked. Dr. Tong Woei Yenn dedicatedly answered all questions in both English and Malay, ensuring optimal understanding for the participants.

The Gastrointestinal Expert Lecture 2024 at UNISA Yogyakarta was not only a learning event but also a platform to inspire and motivate the 104 students who attended online in developing expertise in the field of medical laboratory. Hopefully, events like this will continue to be held to produce a generation of superior and competitive medical laboratory technologists.
