Her initial duties included 襝harting� patients, but she eventually became a full-fledged medical technician, as well as taking time to teach and offer lectures in parasitology and urinalysis. She shares what hospital administration and coursework was like in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as her time under President Laster, when the medical technology program was in jeopardy, but was ultimately saved by the appearance of 襪ed techs� at state legislative hearings. Baptist also recounts the relationships between other hospitals' medical technology programs, and also offers advices to those potentially interested in entering the profession. 000003183 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000003183 542__ $$fIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted 000003183 610__ $$aMultnomah County Hospital$$010561 000003183 650__ $$aMedical Laboratory Personnel$$029653 000003183 650__ $$aParasitology$$023592 000003183 650__ $$aMedical Laboratory Science$$026800 000003183 691__ $$aOregon Health & Science University.
