Implementing urine microscopy at Oklahoma State University Health Services: A medical student-led quality improvement project

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction/Objectives: Urine microscopy is a low-cost method for evaluating patients with urinary tract infections, metabolic disorders, and kidney disease. Despite clinician request, Oklahoma State University Health Services in Stillwater has not offered urine microscopy for over two years due to a lack of trained lab technicians. The goal of this quality improvement project was to improve one lab technician’s confidence with preparing and reading urine microscopy slides and to refine the training process for future trainees.
