19 The Big Picture Before we began we had to look at the big picture!

20 Things to we had to consider New profession Would it be accepted? Support Government, institution, private Availability of resources Lab and facility Education Who will teach in the program? National exam How do we create one? Pay Round peg in a square hole Management Who will run the program and who will manage graduates in the hospital? Continuing education An important part
