Trading Post Nine students recently received certificates upon successful completion of a one-year course of study in the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program. Speaking at the graduation exercises. Dr. C. Douglas Maynard of The Bowman Gray School of Medicine, urged the graduates to cultivate self-respect, mutual respect between themselves and the physicians they will work with, and corporate respect among members of their future nuclear medicine labs. "Unless you continue to educate yourselves," Dr. Maynard told the new technologists, “you will not be educated one year from now...and you will lose some of your self-respect.” He asked them to attend national meetings, read journals and “demand” in-service education wherever they work. Specialized training In nuclear medicine technology is offered in a joint program by Duke and the Durham Veterans Administration Hospital. The program is conducted by the Division of Nuclear Medicir>e in the Department of Radiology, under the direction of Dr. Jack K. Goodrich, professor of radiology, and Elizat>eth Blackburn, educational director of the program. This year’s Mallinckrodt Award, which is presented to the outstanding student in the graduating class, was Duke is introducing a new program this fall for medical students who want to become health policymakers. Those admitted to the five-year program will study in the School of Medicine and the Institute of Policy Sciences and Public Affairs. Both an M.D. degree and a master of arts degree in public policy sciences await those who complete it successfully. The combined approach was adopted because "Many people who are health policymakers don't have adequate medical training.” explained Dr. Willis Hawley, associate director of the policy sciences institute. "Or if they do have medical training, they dont have the analytical skills and knowledge of policy implementation they need,” he added. The new Medicine and Public Policy Program will provide all three, Hawley noted. The first two of the program’s five years are spent with medical courses. The third year is devoted to courses in the Institute of Policy Sciences and Public Affairs. There, students will learn how to analyze policy alternatives and gauge their consequences. Theyll learn how government policies are made and put into action. Theyll also Iciarn how ethics and policymaking dovetail. ^ntGKcom is published weekly for Duke University Medical Center employees, faculty, staff, students and friends by the Medical Center's Office of Public Relations, Joe Sigler, director; Miss Annie Kittrell, secretary.

With internship and residency at Hopkins behind him, he came to Duke to organize the urologic service in 1929. The medical center opened in July of 1930. One of the leaders in his specialty. Dr. Alyea was one of the early innovators in prostatic surgery, and his first scientific paper recommended vasectomy. He was a consultant to the Surgeon General in the National Research Council during World War II. A primary objective was establishment of a urologic residency, and during the time Dr. Alyea was chief of the service. 35 residents completed post-graduate training here. Almost 10 years ago his former residents honored him with establishment of the Edwin P. Alyea Visiting Professorship in Urology. Dr. Alyea relinquished his responsibilities as chief of urology in 1963 and continued as a professor of urology until 1969. He has been an emeritus professor since that time, but has continued to maintain an active affiliation with the division. You may send ads to “Trading Post, ” Box 3354, Hospital.

FUNERAL LEAVE To provide time off for employees to attend the funerals of close relatives without loss of pay, Duke University's funeral leave policy offers two basic plans covering absences from work due to the death of relatives. Q. What, if any, provision does Duke's funeral leave policy make for me to attend my mother's funeral? A. One part of Duke’s funeral leave policy states, "An employee who is absent during the regularly scheduled work week due to a death in his immediate family (spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, step-parents, step-children, step-brothers and step-sisters) may receive payment for such absences not to exceed five (5) consecutive work days. ” Q. Do I receive any benefits from the funeral leave policy if I take time off from work to attend the funeral of my uncle? A. Another part of the policy makes provisions for employees who are absent due to the death of family memk>ers outside the immediate family. These provisions apply to the death of "grandparents, parents-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, aunts, uncles, grandchildren and great-grandparents of the employee.” Payment for days absent from work in these cases “may be made for absences not to exceed three (3) consecutive work days, ” according to the policy. Q. What do 1 do in order to get credit for my absence from work to attend the fu neral of a family member? A. “Verification of the reason for this absence,’’according to the policy, ““such as a funeral program or obituary should be presented to the employee’s supervisor immediately upon return to work. Responsibility for verification is the employee’s. Where, however, the bereaved employee cannot easily obtain verification, he should contact the Employee Relations section of the Personnel Department for assistance in securing the required information.” . Q. How is pay computed for days of funeral Ipave? A. "Pay for each day of funeral leave taken will be made at the employee’s current rate of pay for a scheduled day's work not to exceed eight (8) hours." Q. What if 1 'm on vacation when a relative dies? A. If death of a relative occurs during a scheduled leave (holiday, vacation), the employee should notify his supervisor so that the time off may t>e charg^ to funeral leave. NOTE: Funeral leave payments are not charged against an employee's sick leave. Health Policymakers To Receive Medical Training in New Program
