What are the Challenges in Internal Proficiency Testing?
Despite its benefits, IPT comes with its own set of challenges:
Resource Intensive: Preparing and distributing test samples can be time-consuming and costly. Subjectivity: There can be a subjective element in interpreting results, which may affect the accuracy of the proficiency test. Resistance to Change: Laboratory personnel may resist changes in procedures or additional training, especially if they believe their current methods are adequate.
