PROGRAMS

2011
Dr. Hamida Nusrat, SFSU CLS Microbiology faculty member, was a published reviewer of two
textbooks: Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Application by L. Buckingham,
F.A. Davis Company (2012) and Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology, by C. Manon, G. Manuselis, D.
Lehman, Saunders Publisher (4th edition).
Dr. Hamida Nusrat presented at the spring 2011 conference of the American Society for Microbiology
(ASM), Northern California- ASM (NC-ASM) in San Ramon, California. Her lecture was entitled: “

Profession”.

2010
Jeanie Scott was faculty advisor on SFSU student poster presentation at the California Association of
Medical Laboratory Technology (CAMLT) Winter Conference, October, 2010 in Anaheim, California.
Hospital Council of Northern California awarded a grant totaling $42,945 from the Healthcare
Laboratory Workforce Initiative (HLWI) project. This grant funded the development of two clinical
training consortium models presented for approval to Department of Public Health, Laboratory Field
Services (LFS). As an innovative solution to the bottleneck in clinical training placements, it required
presentations to hospital laboratories to petition their participation. On March 23, 2011, Geraldine Albee
presented “Results from HLWI Grant to Create CLS Training Consortiums” to the HLWI Advisory
Committee.

2009
“Hybrid CLS Model: Innovative Strategies Employed in Developing a Hybrid Curriculum for CLS
Training” written by Geraldine M. Albee, MA, MLS(ASCP), CNMT; published in the American Society
for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) Today, February, 2009.
Geraldine Albee was moderator at the winter professional meeting of California Association of Medical
Laboratory Technology (CAMLT) student session in October, 2009 in Santa Clara, California.
