Poster day spotlights student research experiences
By John Iler
|
Student David Jones describes his research
to fellow summer intern-students Jennifer Hicks and Kavita
Poddar who also participated in the poster day event at
the Clinical Center.
|
This year, 1,100 undergraduate, graduate and medical students
came to NIH to take part in summer internships in various institutes.
The program culminated with the annual poster day where the
students displayed their research findings on a particular topic.
Fifty-seven of the presenting students who interned in Clinical
Center departments proudly displayed their particular topics
along with the 530 other presenting interns here on August 4.
Sponsored by the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education,
poster day is a time for students in the six- to eight-week
summer intramural research programs to display their results
and explain them to peers, clinicians and guests.
“Poster day provides an opportunity for students who
have spent the summer working in NIH research laboratories with
mentors to share their accomplishments with the community,”
said Deborah F. Cohen, education programs specialist in the
intramural training and education office. The event, which began
in 1991, has grown from approximately 150 posters to more than
580. “In fact, poster day has become the highlight of
the summer for many students and their mentors,” Cohen
continued.
Sharanie Sims, a third-year pharmacy student at Howard University’s
School of Pharmacy, Washington, D.C., and an intern in the Pharmacy
Department, said working on her project made her realize she
is on the right career track. “It was very informative
and gave me a chance to get some real hands-on experience, especially
in pharmaceutical economics, which involves costs and savings,”
she said. “I never knew what it was until I came here,
so I made my presentation on it. I loved it!”
Nutrition Department intern Jennifer Hicks, a graduate student
in nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, worked
with Kavita Poddar, a graduate student at the Polytechnic Institute,
Blacksburg, Va., and fellow nutrition intern, on the topic of
“Nutritional Care Processes at the Clinical Center.”
"It is about how much nutrition intervention patients need
to supplement their treatments and their illnesses," said Hicks.
"It was a great experience working on this topic and it is one
with lots of possibilities," added Poddar. "I would like to
return some day and add to this research. This would be a wonderful
environment in which to work."
David O. Jones engaged in what he called his first clinical
experience. A second year medical student at Boston University,
Jones' poster dealt with various topics he had worked with in
the Clinical Center's radiology department. "Summed up, everything-and
I mean everything-has a direct impact on clinical care; from
the types of medicine and treatments that are administered to
the meals served and the overall cleanliness of the surroundings,"
he said. "Even how we treat people factors in. And that has
been at the heart of everything I've learned."

New employees find updated orientation program
helpful
|
Anita Thomas and Jason Saysanlar, both
new to the Clinical Center, participate in a cultural
communication exercise as part of the CC's new orientation
program.
|
Every two weeks, a group of 25 to 35 new faces come through
the doors of the Clinical Center. These new employees, volunteers
and contractors often wear expressions of anxious excitement
as they continually look from their NIH map to the building
signage and back to the map, perhaps stopping to ask a passing
stranger for directions. For their first day of work, the Clinical
Center training staff ensure that the newcomers’ first
impression of the NIH Clinical Center is positive.
Every new Clinical Center employee, volunteer and contractor
attends the Clinical Center new employee orientation. Designed
to provide individuals with a deeper understanding of the Clinical
Center’s values and mission, the program welcomes new
staff and outlines expectations for everyone working in the
CC. The program is offered by the CC Office of Organizational
Development and Planning and covers the organization’s
core competencies—safety and emergency procedures, customer
service, diversity awareness and communication, performance
improvement, confidentiality and work-place ethics—discussing
how those elements support the mission, vision and guiding principles
of the Clinical Center.
In August, the organizational development and planning staff
implemented a revised orientation program in response to NIH
centralization efforts and a desire to streamline training requirements
for organization-wide competencies. The two-day program offers
a new segment on cross-cultural communications—a key competency.
|
New employees work together at the orientation.
|
On the day of orientation, new employees listen quietly as
Deborah Gardner, chief, organizational development and planning
says, “The ability to communicate across cultures is about
coming to terms with personal attitudes, beliefs and expectations
about others and gaining comfort with different-ness.”
She goes on to explain that with a diverse patient population
and workforce like that of NIH, people must learn to value differences
in order to effectively work and communicate with one another—an
essential part of functioning in a large organization.
After reviewing the competency, Garder asks participants to
take part in a diversity-communication exercise. The room is
immediately consumed by the noise of people talking as groups
form and new colleagues move together asking questions of each
other. Following the exercise, Gardner and the group reflect
on the results. The exercise raises key issues around communication
and requires participants to explore individual and organizational
dimensions of diversity.
“This new program helps people understand that partnering
has to start on day one,” Maureen McDonnell, coordinator
of the new CC employee orientation, says. “This place
is large and complex, so you have to start building those relationships.”
The orientation program itself models partnering by inviting
representatives from various departments to come speak with
the group, sharing their personal insight, and delivering content
on topics such as patient safety and confidentiality, emergency
procedures and universal precautions. “The program is
so much richer when you have all these people and departments
coming together,” Gardner says.
“The success of our new employees is the Clinical Center’s
success as well,” explains Gardner. “We want to
invest in all our employees from the very beginning.”

Music series hits high note at Clinical Center
By Kathryn Boswell
|
Ann Brewer plays classical music selections
in the CC atrium as part of the NIH Summer Concert Series
at the Oasis.
|
This summer, the Clinical Center added another feature to
its repertoire of art programs-one that benefits NIH employees
as well as the patients. The Summer Concert Series at the Oasis
was launched on June 30 with a performance by a jazz-gospel
a cappella group, which was followed by a wide variety of musical
acts each Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. in the Hatfield Center's
atrium.
Employees, patients and visitors listened from their seats
or simply stopped for a few minutes as performance groups and
individuals sang, danced and played instruments.
When the Clinical Center art committee first envisioned a
seasonal concert series many years ago, they were limited by
the lack of open space in the Magnuson building. "In the old
building, there were pockets of public space," explains Larry
Eldridge, senior advisor to the CC chief operating officer and
art committee member. "With the atrium in the new Hatfield Center,
we saw a great opportunity to add even more life to the building-and
to use the atrium for programs beyond the normal business hours."
The idea soon became a reality with the help from the NIH
Office of Research Services, division of employee services and
Eurest dining services, both of which partnered with the art
program to bring the long-awaited concert series to NIH. The
concert series soon became a great collaborative effort, with
representation from several CC departments and offices, including
facility management, rehabilitation medicine and networks and
applications. The goal was not only to "create a relaxing, comfortable
atmosphere for the patients and caregivers," Crystal Parmele,
CC Office of Facility Management, explains, but also to give
local artists and NIH employees the opportunity to share their
talents with the NIH community.
The series included performances from the ViBE, violinist
Charles Tolbert, Premier, the NIH Orchestra Ensemble, pianist
Ann Brewer and a group of young Irish musicians from the Sligo
Hedge School led by Karen Ashbrook. Each group and individual
was welcomed to the Clinical Center with a great response. "The
whole program has been very well received," says OFM employee
Lillian Fitzgerald. "I received comments from several employees
who told me that they had their office doors open and the music
brightened their day," Eldridge adds.
For the performers, some of whom were also NIH employees,
the response was equally encouraging. Terence Hope, who sings
with the ViBE when he is not working at NIH as a conference
coordinator, says the experience was excellent. "For me it has
been a great thing to volunteer and help out, and to see how
uplifting the music was for the children that came and spoke
with us."
Ann Brewer, who works in the NIH director's office, played
classical piano selections on July 28. "The biggest reward [of
performing]," says Brewer, "was when I was walking down the
hill after my performance and someone was knocking on a window
from the CC. Once they got my attention, I looked up and saw
that it was a patient and family cheering me. That made it worth
the world to me."
The concert series is expected to resume in September. If
you or someone you know is interested in performing, contact
Crystal Parmele at (301) 496-2862.

Dorene Dalessandro retires after 35 years
|
Dorene Dalessandro
|
After a 35-year federal career, Dorene Dalessandro retired
from the Clinical Center’s Office of Financial Resource
Management in July. During her 31 years at NIH, Dalessandro
has been a valued employee in various departments, including
laboratory medicine and the CC director’s office.
“I had not been thinking of retirement,” Dalessandro
says. “But I realized that it was time.” Even on
her last day of work, the numerous flowers from appreciative
colleagues and the steady stream of visitors stopping by to
give her hugs and best wishes only momentarily distracted her
from her work. Rather, Dalessandro continued to diligently complete
her final projects as program support specialist like any other
day.
Dalessandro’s Clinical Center career began in 1978 in
the laboratory medicine department, then known as clinical pathology,
where she worked as a clerk-typist and later as a secretary.
Eleven years later, she accepted a position in the CC director’s
office as secretary to Larry Eldridge. In 1997, Dalessandro
migrated into a position as the secretary to the chief financial
officer. In 2002, she became a member of the financial office
where she has managed office logistics, facilities management,
timekeeping and inventory.
Throughout her years at the Clinical Center, Dalessandro formed
lasting friendships with many of her colleagues. Whether it
was her festive office holiday decorations, her ability to make
others feel at home or her close attention to detail—Dalessandro
will be well remembered.
“She has always been a helpful, sincere and caring person
who consistently treats everyone, whether they are staff or
a visitor, with respect and dignity,” says Daniel Rinehuls,
chief, financial resource management office.
Dalessandro plans to spend her retirement with her four children,
six grandchildren and other relatives. She also hopes to dedicate
more time to arts and crafts projects and “do more leisurely
things,” she explains with a smile.
“My history with NIH has been a very rewarding one. I
worked with very nice people; many of whom have become long-time
friends,” she says.

Unless print film requested, imaging sciences
to produce digital only
On September 30, 2005, the diagnostic radiology and nuclear
medicine departments will stop routinely printing hard copy
film of imaging exams they perform. However, the radiology digital
film library will continue printing film copies of any imaging
exam upon request.
Clinicians who require hard copy films must specifically request
them when entering the imaging exam order. All CRIS order entry
screens for imaging will offer the option of requesting film.
A message will appear just before the special instructions field
that reads, "print hard copy film." Prescribers must select
"yes" from the pull-down menu in the adjacent box to request
film printing. The PACS (Picture Archive Communication Systems)
is available to anyone who currently reviews film.
If you do not have PACS access and would like an account that
will allow you to use the PACS work stations and web product,
please send an e-mail to pacsrissupport@cc.nih.gov.

Face in the Crowd: Gina (Rowe) Ford Nurse
consultant, Clinical Center
|
Gina (Rowe) Ford
|
As a mother of two great children, Gina (Rowe) Ford is accustomed
to having high expectations. She also applies those expectations
to herself, which may explain how she has managed to gracefully
balance her time between earning a master's in nursing administration,
raising her children, and working full-time at NIH.
Ford came to NIH in May 1991 as a staff nurse and worked in
a variety of clinical settings as she gradually moved into the
role of nurse manager. "I didn't plan on staying at NIH this
long," Ford explains with a smile. "But the organization provides
so many opportunities for career development and advancement
that you don't have to leave."
One such opportunity came along for Ford after she completed
her master's program. She heard about an available position
as a nurse consultant for Dr. David Henderson, deputy director
for clinical care, in the Clinical Center and applied. "I always
saw myself in hospital administration," Ford says. The timing
was just right.
"I saw it is an opportunity to gain a broader view of the
Clinical Center and learn how departments are integrated," she
says. Today, Ford works with a team of professionals whose responsibilities
center around patient safety and quality clinical care. Ongoing
initiatives include compliance with JCAHO standards and requirements,
working with the occurrence reporting system, and safety and
clinical standards. Other responsibilities include support for
the consult review committee, emergency preparedness and clinical
care departments.
"We look at things retrospectively and try to figure out ways
to improve a situation that has already happened," Ford explains.
"We also conduct prospective analysis to determine if things
will work the way we think they will. Health care is not an
event; it is a process. There is always something to be done."
Ford says the aspect she enjoys most about her current role
are the people with whom she works. As someone who feels a responsibility
to the organization, its patients and its staff, Ford feels
right at home with her colleagues. "These are people who want
to make life better for others-that is why they are here."
While the passion she has for her job may be enough to keep
Ford smiling, she has another reason to beam. This year, she
married Greg Ford and is enjoying the challenges and joys of
establishing a new home with her husband, son Russell, 15, and
daughter Kira, 21, who is a senior in college.
