TACLS CONVENTION 99

TACLS NEWS
Cecile Sanders, TACLS Convention 99 Co-Chair

If you weren’t one of the 400+ attendees, you missed an outstanding convention in Austin, March 24-26.  Dr. Red Duke kicked off the convention with a keynote address on Wednesday evening to a standing room only crowd.  His “Prescription for Stress” focused on his daily routine as a trauma surgeon and included many “outtakes” from his televised “Health Watch” spots.  His dry humor and Texas twang kept the audience in stitches. 

The program was one of the best ever and included topics in every discipline.  Because the convention was co-sponsored by CLMA, several scientific sessions on management, CLIA inspections, and Medicare reimbursement topics were held.   

Because of the limited interest from CLT programs across the state, no MLT Student Bowl was held.  The CLS programs, however, held a spirited competition with students from four programs.  First place was captured by M.D. Anderson, second went to the Methodist Hospital, Houston, and third place went to UT Southwestern.
