title: A comprehensive retraining program for inactive medical technologists.
abstract: Shortage of laboratory personnel appears to have created growing interest and activity in retraining inactive medical technologists. A recent three year program at the University of Wisconsin involving 63 individuals enrolled in one or more courses provides some results. Twenty-three are now employed, and nine are actively seeking employment. The development, presentation, evaluation and cost of the program are here reported.
