From Research to Presentation- A Capacity Building Seminar By students

The Department of B.Voc (Medical Laboratory Technology) organized a capacity-building seminar, "From Research to Presentation," on 5 March 2026, aimed at transforming research notes into confident stage delivery. Medical Laboratory Technology is as much about test accuracy as it is about communicating results. The seminar, guided by Principal Dr. Iqbal Shaikh and coordinated by Ms. Farheenshama Shaikh, targeted three core goals: confidence-building & public-speaking practice.

 The seminar's objectives were to encourage students to read and cite recent research, develop a structured presentation flow, and provide peer-to-peer learning in Endocrinology and Toxicology. Thirty students from TY MLT participated, with topics assigned in advance by Ms. Farheenshama Shaikh, each linked to the subject syllabus. The audience comprised TY MLT peers and faculty evaluators.

 


The seminar opened at 11:30 am with Ms. Farheenshama Shaikh highlighting the importance of communication in diagnostic reporting. Each student presented for 4-5 minutes, followed by a minute of feedback. The sequence created a steady rhythm: early presenters set the tone, while later ones built on that momentum. By 2:30 pm, every participant had presented.

 



Students used various techniques to explain their topics, including storytelling hooks, layered detailing, and research anchoring. Many used patient-scenario openings, started with basic definitions, and deepened with lab values and graphs. Several cited articles from 2024-2025 journals, giving freshness beyond textbooks. Handmade diagrams and charts helped visualization, while code-mixing made talks relatable.

 The highlights of the seminar included a presentation on adrenal insufficiency with a news clipping about Addison's disease awareness, a toxicology talk on organophosphate poisoning linking lab diagnosis with real-life farmer cases in Maharashtra, and diabetic biomarker explanations with HbA1c trends plotted from recent studies.

 The outcomes were impressive, with students showing measurable confidence growth and reduced stage fear. Peers gained academic and presentation insights, making it a double-learning platform. Under Principal Dr. Iqbal Shaikh's guidance and Ms. Farheenshama Shaikh's coordination, TY MLT students turned research papers into lived explanations.
