๐ˆ๐‚๐˜๐Œ๐ˆ: Continuing Professional Excellence: TUA-CMT Conducts Seminar and Workshop on Phlebotomy's Best Practices

Last June 7, 2024, Trinity University of Asia College of Medical Technology hosted a seminar and workshop entitled, โ€œBest Practices in Phlebotomy: Aiming for Excellenceโ€ in partnership with Becton Dickinson Philippines. This event took place on the 5th floor of the Health Sciences Center Building and was also live-streamed via Zoom, attracting both in-person and virtual attendees. With the active involvement of professionals in the medical technology field, the seminar aimed to impart the latest protocols and techniques in phlebotomy to enhance the skills of current practitioners.

Two distinguished guest speakers graced the event: Dr. Shirley F. Cruzada, former dean of the College of Medical Technology and now a professor from the College of Southern Nevada, and Mr. Jan Ivan I. Cruz, a CMT alumnus and training specialist from Becton Dickinson Philippines. With their combined depth of expertise, the speakers ensured a rich learning experience for all attendees.

During the first part of the session, attendees had the privilege of viewing a recorded lecture by Dr. Cruzada. Her talk delved into the historical and contemporary significance of phlebotomy. She highlighted how phlebotomy has evolved over the years and its crucial role in modern healthcare settings. Dr. Cruzada's insights provided a comprehensive overview of the field, reinforcing the importance of continual learning and adaptation in medical practice.

In the afternoon, Mr. Cruz led an engaging session. โ€œYou should never compromise patient safety over comfort,โ€ he quoted, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the best practices in phlebotomy. His lecture covered a range of critical topics, including the latest techniques, safety protocols, and the importance of maintaining high standards in patient care.

Following the lecture, Mr. Cruz facilitated a hands-on workshop, dividing participants into five groups. Each group had the opportunity to practice phlebotomy on dummy arms provided by the university. The practical session included detailed instructions on the proper ex*****on of the evacuated tube system using a butterfly set and the correct usage of multisample needles. This interactive segment allowed participants to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled, supervised environment, significantly enhancing their practical skills.

The seminar and workshop was a great success overall. In addition to offering insightful educational material, it gave medical technology practitioners a chance to network and advance their careers. The event served as a reminder of Trinity University of Asia's dedication to providing top-notch medical education as well as its function in raising healthcare standards through ongoing education and career advancement.

๐—œ๐—–๐—ฌ๐— ๐—œ: TUA-CMT Recognition Day: A Celebration of Dedication and Perseverance

On May 30, 2024, Trinity University of Asia College of Medical Technology (TUA-CMT) hosted a heartfelt Recognition Day themed, โ€œ๐—œ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜† ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜†: ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ง๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†,โ€ for its graduating students, marking a significant milestone in their journey toward becoming medical technologists. Carried out at the university theater, the event was held to honor the dedication, perseverance, and outstanding achievements of the graduating interns.

The ceremony began with introductory rites led by Rev. Dexter B. Tad-awan, followed by the Reading of the Word by Ms. Jannah Marie T. Alegre and Ms. Ahrlan Chrystal M. Ambal from Batch Meraki. Ms. Michaela Camille M. Labana, a dedicated clinical instructor, introduced the keynote speaker, Dr. Denise B. Andal, a distinguished alumna from Batch 2016.

Dr. Andal shared that despite the many difficulties and challenges she faced, her family and friends were her main sources of strength and motivation. "Be proud of your achievements, no matter how small. Tap yourself on the back," she said as encouragement. She emphasized the importance of celebrating every win, no matter how insignificant it may seem, reminding everyone that every step forward is a step worth celebrating. It is significant to recognize any progress made, even as one continues to strive toward a bigger goal further down the line.

In her inspiring talk, Dr. Andal emphasized the life-changing impact medical technologists have on their patients, reminding the graduates that every patient is a beloved family member and should be treated with genuine care and empathy. She urged the graduates to "never lose sight of the human faces behind the data, the specimens, and test results," and to approach their work "with empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity." This emphasis on compassion and social responsibility perfectly aligns with the celebrated core values of Trinity University of Asia.

Dr. Andal gave prominence to the value of empathy in healthcare, encouraging graduates to view patients as more than just case studies but as parents, grandparents, children, siblings, or friends. โ€œThe true measure of success lies not in personal accolades or achievements, but in the lives you touch and the impact you make," Dr. Andal stated. She stressed that their role is crucial not only in diagnosing and treating diseases but also in advocating for equity and justice in healthcare, especially in underserved communities. By harnessing the power of technology responsibly, she said, they could "reach underserved communities, break geographical barriers, and empower individuals to take control of their health," leaving an unforgettable impression on the new graduates as they embark on a new journey and face the challenging reality of healthcare.

The ceremony continued with the awarding of the Certificate of Appreciation and leading of the Apostle's Creed. Rev. Tad-awan also conducted a special blessing of the TUA stole, awards, and batch token, adding a spiritual significance to the event.

A memorable part of the event was the Presentation of Awards and Certificates by Dr. Mark D. Francisco, the CMT Dean, and Dr. Gisela DA. Luna, the University President. The ceremony featured the graduates' hard-earned accomplishments, outstanding academic performance, and clinical excellence. Ms. Rona Maye G. Trinidad, the Master of Science in Medical Technology Chairperson, performed the Presentation of the TUA stole. Dean Mark D. Francisco then delivered a congratulatory message, followed by a Message of Gratitude from Ms. Sophia Nicole G. Advincula, the Batch 2024 Representative.

After the Message of Gratitude, a special batch video was played, accompanied by the song "Long Live" by Taylor Swift. It was a wholesome compilation of photos capturing memorable moments and milestones from the graduates' journey. The video projected their experiences, friendships, and achievements throughout their time at TUA-CMT, imprinting a sense of nostalgia and pride among the audience. It highlighted all the โ€œmagic they made" and reminded everyone that "they will indeed be remembered" for their hard work and dedication.

The ceremony concluded with a Benediction, Dismissal, and Asperges, providing a moment of reflection and blessing for the graduates. The event ended on a high note with the traditional Trinity March, a spirited, nostalgic, and symbolic finale that left a lasting impression on all attendees.

The Recognition Day was an evidence to the values and spirit of Trinity University of Asia's College of Medical Technology. It celebrated the accomplishments of its graduates and prepared them for the long and challenging journey in the field of medical technology. As these new medical technologists embark on their professional paths, we can confidently anticipate a promising future in healthcare. With a strong foundation and the support of their community, these graduates will carry forward the legacy of excellence and dedication instilled in them by their alma mater, upholding the high standards set by Trinity University of Asia.
