Alumni Updates: 2010's
- Preeyam Patel ('11) patelpreeyam@gmail.com "I was recently hired at NY Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, New York and I absolutely love it! Since it is a non-profit organization we don't turn any patients away regardless of financial situation; therefore, our patients can sometimes be the rarest of infectious disease and cancer cases. Being the largest hospital in New York we also receive the most specimens. Coming hand-in-hand with this is also a prevalence of highly infectious disease due to both the close living quarters and the large population of Manhattan. The combination of these makes the work I do in the microbiology lab here interesting. Your background in the CLS program at UNC will make you one of the best CLS techs out there so don't be afraid to explore other options out of the state, hospitals that are larger or smaller than the ones you have worked in, and areas that you may or may not have studied." 10/2011
- Shelby Currier ('11) shelbylcurrier@gmail.com "I was hired by Duke's Biochemical Genetics Laboratory the week after graduation in May and began work at the end of June. The lab is very small and is located off of Duke's main campus, close to RTP. We function as a reference laboratory and have a different LIS and separate set of medical records from the main hospital. We receive samples from all over the state, country, and even world and perform testing useful in the detection of genetic metabolic disorders. I am the only certified MLS among the technologists and have learned a lot in the short time that I have been here." 08/2011
