Answering the Questions - The other faculty and students

The next step was to see if the other faculty members would be willing to flex so that I could go.

Mr. Nee Barnor MS. RDMS is the Clinical Coordinator and the primary instructor for Diagnostic Medical Sonography students. Mr. Barnor is one of a rare group of Sonographers in the United States who holds a Masters in Sonography.

Mr. Barnor has been working with Coosa Valley Technical College for over 5 years and is an integral part of any successes that we've had. He is well respected by the students and other faculty members as a knowledgeable and capable instructor.

He and Dawn Irwin worked together to find a way to re-arrange the schedule so that students could get all of their Physics II classes prior to my departure in May. He has been quite supportive of the endeavor.

Mrs. Dawn Irwin RDCS (Adult and Pediatric) is our primary instructor for Echocardiography. Although Dawn is new to Education she has a huge wealth of knowledge in both Adult and Pediatric Echocardiography. Her students love and admire her.

Dawn and Mr. Barnor have both been very helpful and supportive as I've been working through the details of going.

Our Junior DMS & Echo students have agreed to have all of their Physics classes occur in April during the Spring term. While I'm absent during May and June they'll be attending clinicals and or classes with Mr. Barnor & Mrs. Irwin. The RVT students will have all of their didactic classes in April and will have their clinical progress monitored and supervised by Keith Walter BS, RDMS, RVT, RDCS and Mr. Barnor.
That seems to just leave acceptance by Kigali Health Institute.
