35. Sokas et al. (A-37) reported on a study in which second-year medical students participated in a training program that focused on the risks of bloodborne-disease exposure and the techniques of phlebotomy and intravenous insertion using universal precautions.

The students answered pre- and posttraining knowledge questions and rated their preparedness on a five-point scale. The researchers found that the students' knowledge and self-assessed preparedness scores increased.
