Description of Research

As program director for University Hospital's School of Cytotechnology my primary activities center on curriculum development, teaching and testing for that program. Teaching sets developed for this program have been incorporated into workshops on GYN Cytology for the 1990's and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. A research project on pap smear adequacy and proficiency testing as it applies to CLIA 88 has resulted in workshops and speaking invitations. Development of computer assisted teaching aids are ongoing projects.
