  • February 21,2001 GET A LIFE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 11 Health Sciences: Who Could Ask For "Moore"? By Mike Poston Asst. Features Editor In addition to finding cadavers in the Moore building, you Can also find one of Western Carolina's best kept secrets. Nestled away on the hill is the Health Sciences Department. The Health Sciences Department offers six, yes six, different degree programs including health information management, clinical laboratory sciences, emergency medical care, environmental health, health services management, and nutrition and dietetics. The clinical laboratory science program is designed to prepare students to work in all phases of laboratory medicine. The program has also obtained a biotech grant from the North Carolina Biotech Center that will allow students to do DNA testing in the lab. The health information management program prepares students to work in different aspects of medical records departments. V. Students learn about health information systems, organization and management, medical terminology, and classification system. This program is very unique and only offered at two institutions in the state, here and East Carolina. The emergency medical care program might be the most original program the department offers. The program trains students in emergency medicine and management. The unique aspect is that they are one of ten programs nationwide, and Western Carolina was the first university in the nation to offer a four year program in emergency medicine and management. According to Barbara Lovin, the head of the department, the program was started, by the urging of the students, around 1976. The university had a ambulance service, but the students involved wanted a degree in the. same area. Out of the efforts of those students came the EMC program. The environmental health program consists of three sub-disciplines: occupational health, public health, and environmental protection. Like the EMC program, environmental health is only one of 20 or so programs like this in the nation. Students from this program have been very active in submitting papers to national research conferences and have also received awards from the Center for Diseases Control in the area of environmental health. The nutrition and dietetics program is a multidisiplinary program that gives students a wide array of opportunities in selecting a career. Lovin states," The program has a broad appeal to a lot of student." She also notes that the department will be offering freshman seminars in personal nutrition as a part of the new liberal arts studies. The last program is a transfer program designed to allow graduates from a two year college and/ or those already in the work force to obtain a four year degree. The health services management program helps those students advance within the health care profession because it allows them the opportunity to obtain a four year degree. This department is very diverse, but Lovin see that as an asset. She said," We are diverse, but we also cooperate to make sure that the students get the best education." She added, "We do this by drawing on different expertise we have on the faculty." If you are interested in perusing a degree in the health sciences and the many programs they offer you can contact the department at 227- 7113 or stop their office in Moore 106. S*l I IDDIIVI? lAfl-TLJ MIIIX BeGlad: NothingTo Do But Smile It is very rare that this column would ever deal with a hot topic in politics and society. However, this week's club might skirt the fringe of controversy, but I will not refuse to highlight a club based on weather or not the issues that are dealt with are taboo or not accepted by some. That being said this week's club is the BeGlad club which is a club for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and friends of the gay community. The club is involved in many different activities like service projects, social events, and even political activism. The club has been involved in many online petitions protesting different issue. These petitions were in protest of things like the nomination of John Ashcroft to Attorney General and the Bush Administration. The club is also involved in clothing drives. The club collects clothes and donates them to Reach of Jackson County. But the club is not just about service projects and political activism. They also hold socials that are designed for fun, but Chang Her, the club's secretary, points out that the socials are also designed to make people feel comfortable. According to Her, the club is a place for both the homosexual and heterosexual community to talk about issues and also to hang out and have fun. One of the most interesting activities that the club will be doing this semester is planning a forum dealing with violence against sexual orientation. This forum is on the heels of a successful town hall meeting on homosexuality that the club helped sponsor with the counseling center. According to Carrie Wilson, the club's president, in the future the club wants to get their name out both on and off campus. The group also wants the community to feel more comfortable with the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community. So far, the club has not had many problems, and the university administration has been helpful in the club's efforts. However, she believes that the lack of opposition is due to the fact that people don't know about the club. However,, BeGald is not just for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. The club invites all students to join them regardless of sexual orientation. According to Her, "the club is a safe environment for all that wish to attend." This is a club that deals with issues of diversity on campus and in the community. It is open to all students as well as members of the community. Let me repeat this once more, this is not a club just for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. BeGald welcomes heterosexuals to join in the dialogue with them in an open and learning environment. If you are interested and want more information about the BeGlad club you can e-mail them at BeGlad@wcu.edu.
