Georgia Southern faculty member serves as guest lecturer in Sweden
Amy Chall, MLS (ASCP),聽a lecturer in the Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences, recently visited Kalmar, Sweden, to serve as a guest lecturer at Linnaeus University. Chall provided a lecture on blood diseases and her current research on targeted anti-cancer ablation therapy to second-year students at Linnaeus University. Chall also gave a presentation on Georgia Southern and the Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program that is currently offered on the Armstrong Campus.
鈥淒uring my visit, I was able to collaborate with other faculty members to develop a joint, web-based assignment that University students on both campuses could participate in to learn more about each other’s healthcare systems,鈥� Chall said. 鈥淒uring the last week in March, junior level students in the MLS program will present to the first-year Linnaeus students on how the blood supply is managed in the United States. In turn, the Linnaeus students will give a presentation on the healthcare system in Sweden.鈥�
Chall鈥檚 trip was sponsored by the Linnaeus University Strategic Grant for Teacher Mobility, awarded to Maria Mattson, senior lecturer of the Department of Chemistry and Biomedical Sciences at Linnaeus University.
