I concur, tech workroom-chair-time does should not substitute for probe-gel-
patient contact time, however it often times does, sometimes due to the student, 
sometimes due to the staff, lab operations.  Unfortunately most programs (in the 
US) do not objectively measure probe time, instead only clinical time (which often 
times mostly consists of chair-time).
