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 SIHGLEY, 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 capar 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. Ms. Bowen said she had attended school for two years elsewhere but came to Weber lab. then what's it worth, the Bountiful resident asked, noting she first considered medical technology during a career day at Viewmont High School. 1 read up on it and I've always been interested in science and liked to look in the microscope but didn't want to be a nurse or a doctor. "I chose this school because it is smaller and offered a two she said. . year program, INSTRUCTOR Nichols said the school changed its program 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 wouldn't see a lab until their third or fourth year. Thats a little late. They are in the lab the first quarter (at WSQ.

They spend a regular day in the lab with working technologists. 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 we've 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 called technical advances "just staggering. A potential med tech should concentrate on science, he said, in high school, especially chemistry, biology, physics and algebra. WE FUND that students high school are not in d, 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 hospitals from throughout the Intermountain region seek 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 said. its improving," echoed those comments.
