In order to broaden student’s knowledge in the radiological technology program, Lone Star College-Montgomery, in conjunction with Lone Star College-CyFair, is hosting the 2010 Medical Radiological Technology Student Seminar on Thursday, March 11, from 11:15 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The seminar will be held at the Lone Star College-University Center in Room 200. Lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m.
 
Dr. Bob Emery, assistant vice president for safety, health, environment & risk management for The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, will provide the event’s keynote address. The seminar will also include presentations from students currently enrolled in the radiological technology program, as well as a student bee competition.
 
“The seminar is an avenue for student-to-student, faculty-to-student, and faculty-to-faculty professional development and socialization,” said Dr. Francis Ozor, director of the medical radiologic technology program at LSC-Montgomery. “We also hope to spark students’ interest in professional membership and encourage active involvement in the continuing education activities of medical imaging professional associations upon graduation.”
 
Since 2008, the seminar has been held twice annually, in March and in November.
