I have to wonder about the Faculty at the University Of New Mexico Medical School it seams that the Faculty supervising a group of Physician Assistant Students who were providing free blood sugar testing to the public has placed the public at rick of contracting Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.
"Those who may have been exposed will be offered follow-up testing for Hepatitis B, C, and HIV. The costs of testing will be covered by UNM."
Do the Medical School Faculty teach not teach or understand the basics of "Infection Control" that are taught on the first day of a CNA program ?
Do the Medical School Faculty teach not teach or understand the basics of "Single Use" ?
Do the Medical School Faculty teach not teach or understand the basics of keeping "Medical Records" ?
Do the Medical School Faculty not teach their students how to use equipment ?
"Despite direct faculty supervision, three mistakes were made: They used the wrong device; they were not all properly trained on the device; no records of those tested were kept."
I have ask why have federal regulators have not pounced on this school and not shut down these medical programs.
