DURHAM — Status for two Chowan College students means serving an internship at famed Duke Medical Center as medi cal secretaries. Susie Clark and Rita Oden are reminded almost daily that they are badly needed in the outpat ient clinic with different dept- ments bidding for their services upon graduation, according to their supervisor, Mrs. Margaret Long. The two live in a rented apartment near the hospital and say they are enjoying being a part of the Duke University scene. They reported to the “Chowanian" that they are en joying their internship at Duke. Susie said she is “learning so much" and added that the peo ple she works with are both friendly and willing to help her with any question that arises. Rita’s sentiments are similar and she is hoping to return after graduation from Chowan in May, 1970. Susie will head back to her hometown of Philadel phia, Pa. At graduation. Rita and Susie will receive their Associate in Arts degrees which stand for two years of academic work at Chowan and nine mon ths internship at Duke. Other students of Mrs. Pat Edwards, professor in the busi ness department who serves as director of the program at Chowan, are serving in hospit als in Suffolk and Norfolk, Va. and Greenville. At Duke, the girls receive new assignments every two months. The outpatient department is comprised of some 20 clinics. Rita has served in emergency and ear, nose and throat clinics to date. Susie has served in medical records and psychiatry, cardiology and pathology are other likely assignments for both. “These are real good girls,” said Mrs. Long while seated in her office, which affords a view of the famous and beautiful Duke Gardens. “The doctors are happy to get the interns,” she explained. “The girls are offered four to six jobs - it’s hard for them to decide which one to take.” Mrs. Lx)ng said she attempts to match the girl with the job before assigning a girl to a clinic. Continuous evaluation and personal interviews and observation of the girls serve as the basis for her decisions. Receiving the individual attent ion are not only the Chowan students but secretarial students from Lees-McRas and blind students sponsored by the North Carolina Conference for the Blind. Always the goal is a happy relationship between the student and her clinic supervisor and often this means matching cor rect personalities as well as abilities. Mrs. Long reports cheerfully that each assignment has been beneficial to all con cerned. Concerning the Chowan girls, present and past, Mrs. Long commented that “1 appreciate the calibre of girls we are gett ing.” She reported one super visor at Duke exclaimed how it is “simply amazing how the girls can produce work on their first day in a clinic - and it’s beautiful” Mrs. Long added “this is almost unheard of and y3t is true of the girls.” The director of the outpatient clinic, Oscar Aylor, a young man who is a graduate of the Univer sities of Virginia and Alabama, is equally lavish in his praise of the girls in the internship pro gram. “We are very pleased with the results of the program, " he said. “It is very pleasing and benefi cial to all involved with their employment and training" He said the benefits to Duke is the ready accessibility of sec retarial help. Any girl complet ing the program will have the opportunity to remain at Duke, he pointed out. Aylor said the fact the girls are already familiar with med ical terminology, through their courses at Chowan, facilitates their work at Duke. "The girls in the program are immensely qualified people," he said and added that after Iheir intern ship they are qualified to go directly to work. He underscored that as medi cal secretaries the girls have a special status. "They are speci alists, just as are legal and executive secretaries, and are recognized as such by the per sonnel of the outpatient clinic. They are as much a specialist as any other health specialist," he said. He continued, "They are in volved in a language all its own Anywhere a knowledge ot medi cal terminology would be valu able they can provide a service.” UNC Dean speaks here The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Raymond H.
