Arts, Letters and Science MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY Medical Technology Major—Students following careers in Medical Technology complete three years of study (minimum 138 hours credit) on campus plus a twelve-month senior year in an approved hospital school of Medical Technology. Included with the preceding are college basic and area requirements for the bachelor's degree and those of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP), namely, Microbiology 1, 50, 60, 158, 159, 161, 190 (3 credits); Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 107, 131, 132; Mathematics 14; Zoology 20, 30; Physics 5. Medical Technology 151 through 159 are taken during the senior year in an affiliated hospital school of Medical Technology. David Terry is coordinator of this program. To become registered as a Medical Technologist with the ASCP, individuals must apply to the Registry of Medical Technologists and be examined to verify their professional competence. Courses of Instruction Medical Technology 151.—Applied Clinical Laboratory. Hospital laboratory experience in an approved School of Medical Technology with training and practical internship directed by a pathologist. Credit given upon certification of satisfactory hospital performance. Prerequisite: Microbiology 161 and Chemistry 107.

Swenson is director of this program. Weber State College commenced its Associate Degree Program in Nursing in 1953 as a pilot school in a research project of Teachers College, Columbia University. The research phase of the project was completed in 1957, and all except one of the pilot schools have continued to conduct their programs. There are now 199 Associate Degree programs in the United States. In a college environment, students enjoy participation in many social and cultural activities. The curriculum includes approximately equal distribution of general educational courses and nursing courses. Facilities used to enrich the needed experiences include the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital and other community agencies. Students eligible for Weber State College are selected for the nursing program on the basis of the entrance test scores, high school achievement, and a personal interview. Successful completion of this program entitles the graduate to an Associate of Science degree from Weber State College and eligibility to write the State Board Test Pool licensing examinations for the Registered Nurse license. The program has been accredited by the Utah Board of Nursing and by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. An accreditation visit was made by visitors from the National League for Nursing in October 1966, and in December 1966, accreditation was granted to the school. The philosophy of the Associate Degree Program in Nursing is in harmony with that of Weber State College. The nursing faculty believes: 1) That education should afford an opportunity for the development of one's capacities in his social, professional, and personal roles. 2) That this opportunity may be provided through a well- planned program based on scientific, cultural, and social experiences. 3) That an effective learning environment provides for individual differences, fosters continuing growth in self direction, and promotes an awareness not only of one's special aptitudes but one's limitations. That continuity of learning is achieved by concurrence of theory and laboratory experience. 4) That, by implementing the above principles, the associate degree program will be able to prepare a nurse technician who is able to give patient centered care under supervision in 163
