PTK chapters to hold health seminars
by Amanda Leduc, Reporter
 

   Kicking off their Honor's Study Program, next week, the Phi Theta Kappa chapters on each TCC campus will sponsor a live satellite seminar: America's Health Care System: How Good Is It and How Is It Changing?
   PTK is the honor society for two-year colleges.
   The society's international headquarters will broadcast the seminar, with speaker Dr. Arnold Relman, to each campus.
   Relman will discuss the changing American health care system and then open a forum for questions via teleconference.
   Relman is editor-in-chief emeritus of the New England Journal of Medicine and professor emeritus of medicine and social medicine at Harvard Medical School. The presentation is open to students and community members with the intent of raising awareness of health care issues.
  The seminar will be broadcast live at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30, on each campus. The SE Beta Delta Omicron Chapter will hold its satellite seminar in the North Ballroom. Following the satellite presentation, Dr. David Winters, guest speaker from Baylor University, will continue the discussion.
   Alpha Delta Delta on NW will broadcast in the Optimum Room B2. Both SE and NW chapters will have tapes of the seminars available for faculty to show in their classrooms after the live showings.
   The NE Phi Tau Chapter will show the seminar in NSTU Center Corner. On Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 12:30 p.m., a rebroadcast of the seminar will be shown in the Center Corner for students who could not attend the viewing the night before. The South Campus Rho Chi Chapter will present its seminar in the NSTU Student Forum Room.
   There will be five seminars throughout the semester to supplement the PTK Honor's Study Project.
   The interactive seminars, which encourage studio and satellite audience participation, will focus on the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Study Topic "Dimensions and Directions of Health: Choices In The Maze."
