CEO Of Black AIDS Institute Discusses HIV/AIDS At Newspaper Conference; Group Releases Report Examining HIV Testing In Black Community
Phill Wilson, CEO of the Black AIDS Institute (BAI), last week addressed the annual convention of the National Newspapers Publishers Association where he discussed the reasons blacks "were so slow to grasp the severity of the threat" of HIV, the NNPA/Seattle Medium reports. According to Wilson, many blacks believed that HIV/AIDS was not directly affecting their communities in the early years of the epidemic. In addition, he said when AIDS reached its peak between 1980 and 1982, blacks also were dealing with unemployment, poverty and welfare reform and, as a result, addressing HIV/AIDS was not a priority. Wilson also noted the reluctance by blacks to deal with the stigma related to the virus. Wilson said, however, "I"m more optimistic now around mobilizing black folks around HIV than [ever] before. I think we"ve made tremendous stride[s] and our institutions across the board are at a different place than they were" (Curry, 7/1).

ASRT Offers New Computed Tomography Learning Module

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists announced it has released the first in a series of interactive learning modules focusing on computed tomography. CT Basics: Module 1 - Fundamentals provides in-depth information about the modality and its equipment and also offers radiologic technologists information about careers in CT. The first of 10 modules, the program features colorful images with easy-to-understand animations that engage participants in the learning process. After completing this activity, participants will be able to: - Describe events leading to the discovery of computed tomography. - Identify the various generations of CT scanners. - Explain the location and function of CT components. - Explain the most common uses of CT scanners in medical imaging. "What makes this interesting is the authors are a diverse group of experts," said ASRT Chief Executive Officer Sal Martino, Ed.D., R.T.(R), FASRT, CAE. "They come at this with a broad range of knowledge and practical experience. Two of the authors are CT practitioners who perform these procedures every day and one of the authors has an education and research background." The authors are Nikkole Weber, R.T.(R)(CT)(M), lead CT technologist at the Mayo Clinic"s radiology department in Rochester, Minn; Patty Hiddinga, B.S., R.T.(R)(CT), a CT technologist from the Mayo Clinic; and ASRT Vice President of Education and Research, Myke Kudlas, M.Ed., R.T.(R)(QM). According to Kudlas, the CT module will serve as a solid entry point for all radiologic technologists interested in learning the fundamentals of CT. Moreover, it will provide technologists with the first steps toward acquiring the knowledge and education they need to become proficient in the modality. "The module was designed for several audiences," said Kudlas. "Radiologic technologists interested in adding the modality to their skill set and technologists currently working in CT will find this learning module to be very useful. Another important audience includes the professionals who will secure education through peer-to-peer CT training. The module will provide them with essential background information about the modality prior to engaging in training with in-house CT specialists." Radiologic technologists will earn 1 continuing education credit following the completion of the module. The ASRT will offer additional modules beginning this fall. The complete CT module package is tentatively scheduled to be available in the ASRT Store by the spring of 2010. ASRT
