NAIT research

Feb. 28, 2017 NAIT research:


Today I was thinking about what if someone was to say: "I want to work in medicine, but without seeing blood."  I would say: "X-ray technician."

I can't get into University of Alberta because my grades are not good enough.  I also don't want to spend 4 yrs to get a degree.  I can research NAIT programs that are easier to get into.  You can go in for 1 or 2 yr programs.

I'm looking into health and sciences, but it seems like I don't have the aptitude or interest.

By reading all this, I did learn a lot.

Cytotechnology

This program teaches students to prepare and analyze cytology samples and to screen microscope slides to evaluate cell specimens for evidence of disease, especially cancer.

    Preceptor Training Courses


    Overview

    Remember the trainer and mentor who assisted you in becoming proficient and comfortable, ready for your first experience on the job? That person likely had a major impact on your confidence and added to your excitement while you prepared to enter the field. Now it’s your chance to do the same for an eager student. Your role as a preceptor is vital to student growth and ensuring that your field is provided with well-trained new graduates.
