ETA Chapter Report

By Maria Raj (ETA President)

With COVID gradually slowing down, with face masks and social distancing no longer mandatory, it's back to normalcy. Additional workload and staff shortages have been an ongoing problem. Keeping in mind that, COVID or no COVID, it’s our responsibility to keep ourselves safe, using proper handwashing at all times.

I'm looking forward to another successful eventful MDRAO conference on Sept. 22-24, with a new venue and more education.

The next ETA Education Day will be on Sept. 30. The topics will be IPAC, how to improve OR/MDR relationships, Loaners trays, and SPM. The ETA members have increased in number, and they are my inspiration to continue educating them.

We can finally enjoy summer the way we all used to do – BBQ, camping, fishing, and all the activities we’ve missed during COVID.

My gratitude to MDRAO for the continuous support to all its members.

Happy Summer!
