Scott doesn't look like he is too busy in his clinicals!!

At least Maryam looks like she is ready to work!!

Dick reported that both students enjoy the Denver area and go sightseeing whenever possible. Looking forward to seeing them back at Andrews for graduation in August.

Al's in Texas

Sabrina Ordonez is doing her clinical rotations at Huguley Memorial Medical Center and Carter BloodCare in Dallas, TX. Here she is doing crossmatches at the BloodCare facilities.

Gloria Mathur, Manager of Educational Services at Carter BloodCare took me on a tour of their new facilities. Since taking over another blood service they are now the third largest blood center in the U.S. They located near the Dallas/Ft Worth airport since they ship blood products to Europe. There are over 850 employees and provide over 700,000 blood components annually. Congratulations to Gloria Mathur who just received an award for the most outstanding Educator in the Southwest U.S.

Huguley is the main clinical site where Sabrina has been working. I will not show pictures of the lab since they are just beginning renovations and expansion. Right now they are so cramped for space that the new chemistry instruments they have purchased can not be put in to service as there is no room. With their expansion the lab will also be modernized with the 'open lab concept'. They do a great job and Sabrina loves her rotation so far.

Al visitied the clinical sites of Huguley Hospital and Carter BloodCare in Dallas, Texas, where Sabrina Ordonez is doing her clinical rotation. On Monday Al visited Huguley then took Sabrina out for lunch. On Tuesday Al visited the Carter bloodCare facility where Sabrina just started her rotation on Monday.
