PAMET Northern California Chapter continues to provide Continuing Edu-cation seminars to all our members. One of our goals is to provide our members with their CE requirements and we pride our organization by meeting your expectations.
Our first seminar for the year 2013 was held at Monogram Bioscience on March 3, 2013. Gwendolyn Williams lectured in Blood Bank. She is a specialist in blood bank and transfusion medicine with more than 40 years of experience with significant accomplishments in consulting, teaching, training and supervising staff of the hospital blood banks and transfusion services in the United States and Africa. Jeanette Whitcomb presented topics in Clinical Application for Management of HIV/AIDS/HEP C Virus. Jeannette has contributed to the development, scale-up and routine operation of molecular and cell-based assays to evaluate drug susceptibility of HIV and HCV and also has broad responsibility for routine operations and technical leadership in the Monogram Clinical Reference Laboratory. Our second CE seminar was held on May 18, 2013 at Washington Hospital’s Anderson building. Our first speaker was Dr. Leo Kadehjian who is an independent biomedical consultant in Palo Alto, primarily lecturing and writing on the clinical, scientific, regulatory, and legal issues in drugs of abuse testing.
Our next lecturers, Major Dan and Rowena Vince Cruz, husband and wife, partnered in lecturing Blood Bank topics. Major Dan T. Vince Cruz is assigned to the 30th Medical Support Squadron, as Chief of the Clinical Laboratory Element, Vanden-berg Air Force Base CA. His duties include the operational and functional command and control of the Vanden-berg Air Force Base Clinic Laboratory. It was rather a very interesting topic on how a unit of blood is processed, trans-ported and transfused in the military environment. Rowena Vince Cruz serves as a Technical specialist for North Bay Medical Center and Vacaville Works are on the way to facilitate another CE seminar in September in Coagulation and Microbiology. Also in September, the most exciting and long awaited CE seminar event will take place aboard the gigantic Norwegian
Cruise from September 20 to October 2, 2013. This adventure will start from Venice then sail to Greece (Athens and Mykonos), Turkey (Ephesus and Istanbul), Italy (Naples, Rome, Florence), France (Toulon) and finally arrives in Barcelona Spain.
We will end the year (2013) with another CE seminar in fall (November) with possible topics in Point of Care Testing and another lecture in Microbiology.
At your service…..
Sincerely,
Jun Nepacena
CE Seminar Chairperson
