'Patients'

To Perform Health Exams

Frustrated
with doctors who were uncomfortable about discussing
sensitive, gender specific health issues, Kat
Wentworth became an educator, and now
teaches how to perform certain examinations —
and she's the "patient.'' Wentworth trains
medical and nursing students at Stanford, UCSF
and Touro University in Vallejo, heads Oakland's
“Project Prepare,” and works part-time
for Lab's Carcinogenic Potency Project, located
in the Life Sciences Division. Full
story.

Analysis
Shows Phone
Rates Among Lowest
A
review of Berkeley Lab’s telephone services
rates indicates that their costs are among the
lowest anywhere. The service order labor rate,
for example, is $55 an hour, compared to industry’s
average of $85 and other labs’ average of
$72. Similarly, the $58-per-hour video conferencing
rate beats industry ($200) and other labs ($220).
The monthly phone recharge of $38 is lower than
most. Telephone Services manager Richard Gregory
also said the online validation process for cell
phone users is proving to be cost-effective and
may be a model for other labs.
