Certificates Are Awarded
To Three EPT Graduates

Program received certificates upon
completion of their one-year course of
study in mid-June.
The graduates are Sue-Ying Hsieh of
Taiwan, China; Linda Quinlivan of
Raleigh; and Donna Permenter of
Clearwater, Florida. Both Ms. Hsieh and
Ms. Quinlivan will continue their work at
Duke as EEG technicians. Ms.
Permenter's future plans have not been
finalized.
This pilot program which was
supported by a training grant in biological
psychiatry, has replaced a former
six-month training program is
electroencephalographic technology. Asa
more technical course of study, the first
six months of the new program consist of
classroom and laboratory training in
electroencephalography, and the
following six months focus on an
intensive study of electrophysiologic
measurement techniques.
Under the direction of Dr. William P.
Wilson, professor of psychiatry, students
in the first graduating class received 1800
hours of instruction at both the V.A. and
Duke hospitals.
The program is now part of the allied
health program in the medical center.
According to Dr. Wilson, next year's
class will consist of eight to 10 students
who will be given the option to
participate in this course for six months
or a full year. It is Wilson's hope, in ;he
future, that this program will develop
into a baccalaureate degree program and
afford its students an opportunity to
receive more technical training.

Orientation Program Offered
For New Duke Employes
HOSPITAL ORIENTATION
PROGRAM—?eT%onne\ Director Wayne
Gooch answers questions about Duke's
policies, benefits and work rules at an
orientation session held for new
employes. This session, which is held
every Thursday, is part of the Personnel
Office's new orientation program. During
these sessions new employes are given the
opportunity to view a slide show about
Duke and ask questions concerning policy
rules. (Photo by Dale Moses)
"ORIENTATION — The ability to
locate oneself in one's environment with
reference to time, place and people."
That's the way the dictionary
describes it.
At the medical center, orientation is
the process of helping new employes
learn something of the history of Duke,
become better acquainted with the
medical center and its function and find
out about the benefits they receive as
Duke employes.
The Medical Center Personnel Office
conducts an orientation program for new
employes each Thursday from 10-11 a.m.
in the Surgery Department Conference
Room (Room 3031, Purple Zone).
In a note to medical center supervisory
p>ersonnel, the medical center's personnel
director, Wayne Gooch, said:
"I urge you to see that each employe
attends on the first Thursday following
employment.
"The program consists of a slide
presentation which highlights the history
and purpose of Duke Medical Center,
points of interest on campus, policies,
benefits and work rules.
"There is also a discussion period to
answer any questions the new employes
may have," Gooch said.
Gooch expressed hope that the
continuing program would "aid in the
process of new employe orientation and
adjustment to the busy Atmosphere of the
medical center. For this reason we solicit
your cooperation."
Any questions about the orientation
program should be directed to Bob New,
personnel assistant, at Ext. 3424.
