Summary:

The Clinical Coordinator position is an essential component in a medical imaging/radiologic science program. The Clinical Coordinator has many responsibilities including student clinical record keeping, ensuring students meet clinical requirements for graduation and ARRT certification, evaluating a student’s clinical performance, forming relationships with their clinical sites, just to name a few. However, many times a program faculty member is asked to step into the Clinical Coordinator role without being properly mentored. This educational program will address common duties and issues a Clinical Coordinator may encounter during their tenure. This webinar was designed to assist novice and experienced Clinical Coordinators in acclimating to the position, while also giving them a forum in which to network with other Clinical Coordinators.
