Show Herald Journal Logan Utah Thursday April 5 22— The 1984 Some criteria to use when choosing doctor Q I just moved to Arisons and I need to find a good doctor Can you offer any advice? A At a time when there are more doctors in this country than ever before many people still don’t have a personal physician The following suggestions from Dr Lawrence Martin chief of the pulmonary division at ML Sinai Medical Center in Cleveland will help you find the right doctor First find out if the doctor is licensed In light of recent stories of phonies passing themselves off as trained physicians protect yourself by looking for a state license in the doctor’s office This assures you that the physician has graduated from an accredited medical school and was not a convicted felon or known drug addict when the license was granted A license is a good starting point as it rules out fraud But it doesn’t guarantee competence the next most important factor in making your choice When checking out the competence of a doctor you should look for the following: —Reputation Claude Pepper House Committee on Aging —Board certification In general doctors certified by their specialty board have acquired knowledge and training in a particular area (internal medicine gynecology etc) However there are some highly competent physicians who for one reason or another are not board certified —Academic affiliation A doctor with an academic affiliation at a major teaching hopsital or medical school is probably competent because he or she has gone through a screening process and peer review to obtain this affiliation Sierra Club trip to SLC Symphony Beethoven start at concert "All Program” tickets if arrangements can be made to get seats People who wish to attend the tions as soon as possible Call Catherine Sharpsteen d Lunch can be Dinner will be at the Spaghetti Factory about $5 for adults All interested persons should meet at the Smith’s Food King parking lot on 4th North at 10 am to carpooL Plan to share gas and parking expenses Alternatives are possible by arranging with the leader in advance 752-19- 96 brown-bagge- HO concert must make reserva The club will meet tonight in the Taggart Student Center third floor at 7 pm Civil engineers to meet A concrete canoe race will be me of the highlights of the annual Rocky Mountain Regional Conference of student chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers going (a today and Friday at Utah State University Ten colleges and universities from around the Mountain West will be represented at the con- ference During the conference there will be technical and nontechnical paper contests a small-scal- e design contest and the concrete canoe race All the contests except the race will be held in the Eccles Conference Center The canoe race :WiU be held at First Dam Friday from 5 pm -- 2-- The guest speaker at the banquet Friday night will be Richard W Kara presidentelect of the American Society of Civil Engineers He is scheduled to speak on the subject of professionalism —Referrals from other doctors A specialist will often refer you to a general practitioner Or you may be refered to a physician when your doctor is moving or retiring —Your focal medical society This usually yields the names of doctors willing to take on new patients Many of these may be new in practice but are fully trained For more information see Martin’s book 1984) “Breathe Easy’’ (Prentice-Ha- ll If you have a question for Claude Pepper please semi it to “Ask Claude Pepper” Room 715 House Office Building Annex 1 Washington DC 20515 Volume of mail prevents personal well-affiliat- ed Now armed with this information you must find the names of specific doctors Martin suggests several sources : —Recommendations of friends and relatives If they like a particular doctor who’s not “Critical Issues Facing Families” is the focus of a workshop scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday at Utah State University Several of the nation’s leading experts on family life will speak in the session sponsored by the College of Family Life Workshop topics will include: Successful families Patterns of family management and relationships This session will offer separate workshops on resolving adolescent-parent conflicts removing parental guilt from substitute child care weighing the costs of and benefits of maintaining a family: understanding family resources now and in the future analysing marital expectations and woman and the workforce dual-work- er Women and the work force Management practices of single parent and two parent families replies Rep Claude Pepper is the chairman of the health subcommittee of the House Select Committee on Aging Nmnpapar Enterprise Assn 750-29- to subThe Brigham City trict have beenofinvited artwork from annual stu- mit examples Conflict resolution through negotiation Individual workshops will focus on single parenting and the empty nest responsibility and families decision making in role and changes over parenting teenagers Reconstituted families dual-work- er a family life cycle Critical issues facing families in- -
