A committee in the St. Louis Metropolitan area has been established to promote communication and cooperation among the area's existing hospital-based programs in medical technology. Area Medical Technology Education Coordinators (AMTEC) was established three years ago primarily to facilitate the administrative functions of medical technology education and to serve as an instrument for the exchange of ideas. Its primary undertaking has been the central processing of applications to the area programs, as an aid in the admission process. In addition, a continuing education program sponsored by the committee has been established, and various "curriculum sharing" activities have been sponsored for the students enrolled in the schools. Future plans for the committee include sponsoring an on-going evaluation process of graduates by employers, and establishing a criterion-referenced question pool. The authors describe the experiences of the committee to date and plans for the implementation of future goals.
圣路易斯都会区成立了一个委员会，以促进该地区现有医院医学技术项目之间的沟通与合作。地区医学技术教育协调员组织（AMTEC）成立于三年前，主要是为了促进医学技术教育的管理职能，并作为思想交流的工具。其主要工作一直是对该地区项目的申请进行集中处理，以协助招生过程。此外，委员会发起了一个继续教育项目，并为在校学生举办了各种“课程共享”活动。该委员会未来的计划包括发起雇主对毕业生的持续评估过程，并建立一个基于标准的题库。作者描述了该委员会迄今为止的经历以及未来目标的实施计划。
