Verne D. Hulce, Ph. D., R. EP T, CNIM, RPSGT, RRT
March 9, 1942 – September 3, 2009

Dr. Hulce was a long-term advisor and contributer to MSET as an honorary board member; speaker; advisor; sponsor; and motivator. His life-long endeavor to overcome obstacles began early in life and he never allowed the deafness acquired as a premature infant to prevent him from his pursuit of excellence.

He will also be remembered for his contributions to research for treatments of neurologic disorders, traumatic brain/spinal cord injury prevention, expertise in electrophysiology, being an avid sailor and aviator instructor, and his contributions as executive administrator to the Field Neurosciences Institute at St. Mary’s of Michigan.

Verne was a long-term supporter of MSET and its mission of providing educational opportunities to electroneurodiagnostic and  polysomnographic technologists. He was a tireless advocate of promoting professional excellence through education and attainment of professional credentials.

You will be sorely missed, Verne…

In memory of Verne, and to honor his passion, MSET has developed the “Verne Hulce Award of Excellence”.  The award will be a grant, to be presented annually to a current MSET member, for the purpose of funding their continuing education. This award may be used to purchase educational material, attend conference/seminar, or to obtain END/PSG credentials in pursuit of professional excellence.

To submit a memoriam or donation to the “Verne Hulce Award of Excellence” fund, please contact MSET President Connie Kubiak; ckubiak@mhc.net or MSET Secretary/Treasurer Mary Harvey; mharvey@stmarysofmichigan.org

A copy of the memoriam as delivered by Connie Kubiak at the September 2009 MSET meeting can be viewed here.

Memorial plans for Verne are scheduled as follows:

Friday Nov. 13, 2009
6:30 p.m.
Old Town Christian Outreach Center
600 Gratiot
Saginaw, Michigan

In lieu of flowers/plants the family has asked donations be made to the Verne Hulce Award of Excellence in care of MSET.  Please contact Connie Kubiak at ckubiak@mhc.net for specifics.

The Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT), the non-profit certification board that administers the exam to become a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT), announces the development of a certificate-level exam. The new exam will be designated the “CPSGT” exam and a certificate holder will be a “Certified Polysomnographic Technician.”

The new certificate will not be a prerequisite to sitting for the RPSGT exam, but rather is being offered as an entry-level certificate for those entering the sleep technology profession.

Welcome to the Central Society of Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists Annual Meeting to be held in Davenport, Iowa,
April 24-25, 2008, at the Radisson Quad City Plaza. The city of Davenport was nationally recognized as the 2007 most livable small city in the country. CSET offers reduced rates to all active members.

In the very heart of the Midwest there’s a magical place nestled along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. A place where two states are joined by the Mississippi to form the Quad Cities, Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa and Moline/East Moline and Rock Island in Illinois. Visit www.visitquadcities.com if interested in local events during your stay in the Quad Cities.

This is your opportunity to convene with other professionals for camaraderie and to strengthen your knowledge in the challenging and rewarding fields of END and polysomnography.

Again this year we are offering two days of three courses each day with a variety of basic and advanced topics. These courses will fulfill continuing education credits.

Who Should Attend:

This symposium is designed for electroneurodiagnostic, intraoperative, and polysomnography care professionals to develop or augment their knowledge. Reminder: ASET ACE continuing education credits are required for ABRET recertification.

Hope to see you in Davenport, Iowa!
