On Friday, March 6, 2009, all students in the Johnson College Radiologic Technology Program visited the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation in Olyphant.
The purpose of the visit was to learn more about the sterile processes that are necessary within the medical field and to get students more familiar with the expanding technology in the field. The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation deals with the donation of tissues from one human body to another. Instructor, Joan Bonczek, said of the experience, “It was quite dynamic to actually see how they process harvested tissue and bone. The students really enjoyed it.”
“I’m grateful our teachers and classmates worked so hard to arrange our class trip to the MTF,” said senior Selena Strausser from Scranton. “Their work at the facility is as fascinating as it is essential to our job and the improvement of our patients’ quality of life. It’s hard to believe that such work is done in our own backyard.”
