Innovation in patient care requires both clinical and technical skills, and this paper presents the methods and outcomes of a nine-year, clinical-academic collaboration to develop and evaluate new medical device technologies, while teaching mechanical engineering. Together, over the course of a single semester, seniors, graduate students, and clinicians conceive, design, build, and test proof-of-concept prototypes. Projects initiated in the course have generated intellectual property and peer-reviewed publications, stimulated further research, furthered student and clinician careers, and resulted in technology licenses and start-up ventures.
During the first three days of the conference the participants reviewed past and present theories and practice involved in the teaching of speech to American Indian high school students and considered teacher preparation and recent research in this and related fields. Prior to the conference proper, abstracts of formal papers were distributed; and reaction panels appointed in advance of the meetings served as stimuli for depth discussion of the points raised by each speaker.During the remainder of the week the participants drafted the three statements which follow. The task force groups responsible for the initial preparation of these documents were organized several months before the conference and began their work by correspondence at that time. After each particular statement was finished, it was discussed at length, revised, and finally submitted to the entire group for approval.
Quanah Parker, son of a Comanche chief and a white mother, was an eloquent and persuasive Indian spokesman. For more than thirty-five years, from 1875 until his death in 1911 , he served as advocate and representative for the Apache, Comanche, and Kiowa peoples of Oklahoma. This brief essay chronicles some of the high points of Chief Quanah's speaking career.
