ASRT executive appointed to genetics education committee

Jan 16, 2001

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists said that Sal Martino, vice president of education and research, has been appointed to a national committee working to develop a human genetics allied health curriculum. Martino will represent the interests of radiologic technology as part of a 12-member Allied Health Genetics team, which is being funded through an annually renewable grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, according to the Albuqueruqe, NM-based society.

The team is working to develop human genetic core curriculum guidelines that will be available to all allied health educators, according to the ASRT. The second of three workshops is scheduled for March 2 and 3 in Washington D.C., where the team met last fall. In addition to the ASRT, the team includes representatives from associations for speech pathologists, dietitians, physical therapists, medical laboratory technologists, occupational therapists, physician assistants and respiratory therapists.
