Description:

The Lab Instructor is responsible for delivering hands-on, face-to-face laboratory instruction in the 18-month program, guiding students through the psychomotor and applied skills they must master before demonstrating clinical competency. Working under the direction of the Program Director and in coordination with the Clinical Coordinator, Lab Instructors facilitate small-group laboratory sessions—approximately six students each—in Introduction to Patient Care and Introduction to Radiography. Instructors demonstrate and supervise energized and non-energized laboratory practice, reinforce radiation-safety and patient-care principles, and evaluate students' skill acquisition in a safe, equitable, and well-supervised environment consistent with JRCERT Standards, including the 1:1 student-to-equipment ratio for laboratory practice.

LABORATORY STAFFING MODEL:

The program is staffing six (6) Lab Instructor positions to facilitate six 3-hour laboratory sessions per week: three (3) sections of Introduction to Patient Care and three (3) sections of Introduction to Radiography, with approximately six (6) students per lab. This small-group model supports close supervision, adequate access to equipment, and hands-on skill development for every student. Instructors may be assigned to one or both lab types based on qualifications, experience, and program need.
