MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY By TOM BUSSELBERG OGDEN Students and faculty at Weber State College are more than satisfied with results of the medical technology program that helped bring national honors to some program students. FIVE STUDENTS, including Lance Carpenter of Clearfield, were national winners of student bowl competition, outdoing schools from around the country in a knowledge skills contest similar to the college bowl. Three students, including one from Bountiful, and a faculty member tie that recent success to a unique program that gives students actual exposure from the beginning while most programs limit that to the fourth year of training. DEBBIE SHIGLEY, a graduate of the two year program that enables her to work as a medical lab technician, is a Bountiful resident. She gave her impressions along with Sue Bowen, a New Hampshire native now living in Ogden workdeing to obtain her four-yegree and Crys Park, the cap- tain of the winning student bowl team and a medicsl technology graduate, from northern Idaho. All three said they were attracted to the program because it gives them continual practice along with theory. lab, then whats it worth, the Bountiful resident asked, noting she first considered medical technology during a career day at Viewmont High School. I read up on it and Ive always been interested in science and liked to look in the microscope but didpt want to be a nurse or a doctor. 1 chose this school because it is smaller and offered a two year program, she said. THEY ARE given specific things they have to do and are graded on how well they perform, given credit or no credit, Mr. Nichols said. "This is our ninth year and so far weve been able to place all our graduates. A veteran of 12 years in the "field as a "bench tech and seven as an educator, he said the field is far from static, and INSTRUCTOR Nichols said the school changed its program med tech should concentrate on science, he said, in high school, especially chemistry, biology, physics and algebra. from the traditional seven years ago. We integrate (medical technology) into the freshman year and have both a two (MLT) and four year (MT) program and they start in their major the first year. Graduates of the four year program perform a wider range of tests and can act as supervisors. IN THE old days they took a major of microbiology, for instance, and wouldnt see a lab until their third or fourth year. Thats a little late. They are in the lab the first quarter (at WSC). Noting the attrition rate is relatively high for new students he explained, "We dont have a selection proces-s...the- y get actual clinical experience usually during the breaks or the summer. They spend a regular day in the lab with working technologists. called technical advances just staggering. A potential WE FIND that students in high school are not generally. We also find them not prepared in basic scientific knowledge and their command of English." He said students change as they successfully complete the program. "The reward to me is to take a freshman who is beginning and he blossoms and becomes trained (in the discipline). HE SAID the program has gained such a reputation hos- pitals from throughout the termountain region seek Ins. The ratio of graduates is about one man for every three women and while the salary level used to be very low, even below nurses, its up now to where a man can support a family its improving," he said. ALL THREE students mentioned stress and lack of recognition from anyone but their coworkers and Mr. Nichols echoed those comments. "Youre turning out results that directly affect the health and treatment of patients, such as the blood bank. Noting the Weber State program "received a lot of cri- ticism" when it first started he looked at the recent national bowl win as indicative of the quality training students are receiving. "Since Ive been here it has turned around and is very respected. HERE WE give students the benefit of the doubt the first year (not restricting entry) and its working superbly. It shows students are topnotch. Theyre small classes with no more than 15 students and we can know each student very well. They can come in any time and sit down and talk (to instructors). Theyre not considered a number. This is a teaching college, not a research college, Mr. Nichols emphasized. He is director of the two year program while Fruit Heights resident Dr. Michael Beard and Gary Nielsen are faculty members. Dr. Marie Kotter is acting department chairman and supervises the four year program. LAYTON Despite a hot and often dry early summer, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District upper level reservoirs have a much higher storage now than for the same period a year ago. DISTRICT Supervisor Grant Salter told a recent gathering of Weber Basin board of directors that reservoirs on the Weber and Ogden Rivers are "near capacity midway into July.

PARK called the program excellent and said it does prepare students for the working world. "It also gives you a thorough background. Most hospital programs you have to learn all in one year and theres no way you can learn all of it. Most students (at other schools) go for three or four years and take general classes and then apply for an internship and get it pretty much (training) in one year. Here, sure you take a lot of (general science) classes, but we also take medical technology classes and do practicums on each subject area. Thats how we get clinical experience. presented Mr. Ball with a handmade light leaving in storage, 43,700 compared to 42,370 acre-fee- t last July.
