Dear Fellow ISSAMT Members:
As you read this, I am asking you to take a
minute and put yourself in someone else’s shoes and wonder what
it must be like to experience their life. Imagine all the people
that need organ or tissue transplants. Imagine all their family
members being tested to see if they are a match in order to help
their loved one who struggles every day because they are so
ill. Imagine being on a waiting list to receive a kidney,
liver, or heart in order to stay alive and every day wondering
if you will be here one more month or day to be with your
family. Imagine having a loved one disappear only to find out
they have been murdered but you don’t know why or by whom?
At our Spring Educational Seminar on
Friday, May 16th, you will be given the opportunity
to go on an educational journey that will spark your imagination
as you hear from speakers from Rush Presbyterian St. Luke’s
Hospital’s Organ Donor and Transplant Team and The Gift of Hope,
a tissue and organ network.. You will even hear from a speaker
who will share their own personal story as they look for a
donor.
As the day continues your journey will lead
you to a death investigation. Dr. Nancy Jones, the Cook County
Medical Examiner, will tell you what it is really like at the
scene of a murder investigation.
At ISSAMT we not only want to provide you
with continuing education units that you need but interesting
topics that you always wanted to know more about. Come join us,
meet new people, listen to great speakers with interesting
topics, and take home your certificate with 6 continuing
education units. Students will also receive a certificate of
participation for their portfolios.
This year we will have monetary awards for
students who participate in our essay contest. The schools that
send students to our seminars will receive free advertising on
our website and in our newsletter for one year. For more
information please refer to our website at
www.il-amt.org and remember to send in your registration
form early since seating will be limited for this event.
I look forward to a great seminar!
Very truly yours,
Nancy C, Gabl RMA (AMT), CMA (AAMA), CPT,
BBA
