Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Stepful is a workforce platform helping healthcare systems build, train, and retain their talent. The Founding Clinical Coordinator will build and manage the clinical education component of Stepful’s Radiologic Technology A.A.S. program, including developing clinical site networks, coordinating placements, supporting preceptors and students, teaching, and maintaining accreditation compliance.
Responsibilities
- Correlate clinical and didactic education: own the alignment between what students learn in didactic and lab courses and what they're asked to do in clinical rotations, sequence clinical objectives against the curriculum, and formally evaluate how well that correlation is working each term
- Build and qualify the clinical site network: conduct and document a pre-placement evaluation of every prospective partner facility to confirm a viable learning environment and sufficient procedure volume; secure accreditor recognition of each clinical setting before any student is assigned; maintain current, signed clinical affiliation agreements; and designate at least one clinical preceptor at each recognized setting
- Run clinical placement and scheduling: determine student clinical placement (placement is decided solely by the program), assure equitable access to mobile, surgical, and trauma procedures, hold the 1:1 student-to-clinical-staff ratio, cap clinical involvement at ten hours per day, and orient every student to every site
- Enforce supervision and radiation safety in the clinical setting: assure direct supervision until competency is achieved and for all repeats, surgical procedures, and mobile procedures; assure indirect supervision thereafter; distribute student radiation exposure reports within thirty school days; and complete MRI safety screening before clinical experience
- Develop and support clinical preceptors: onboard preceptors at each site, train them on the clinical objectives and competency evaluation system, keep them current on program policies and student progress, and serve as their day-to-day point of contact
- Track clinical competency and advise students: monitor competency progression and completed clinical hours, provide timely and documented clinical advisement, and build remediation plans for students who fall behind
- Support accreditation and assessment: contribute clinical evidence to the self-study report, annual reports, substantive change filings, and site visit preparation for accreditors; participate in the program's systematic assessment plan and the annual analysis of clinical outcomes data
- Teach: participate in didactic and/or clinical instruction, with the opportunity to teach clinical courses for the first cohort
- Maintain professional currency: keep current knowledge of radiography practice and educational methodologies through documented continuing professional development, and stay current on program policies, procedures, and student progress
- Travel to partner sites for site readiness evaluations, preceptor development, clinical visits, student advisement, and accreditation visits, weighted toward new site launches — likely up to once monthly in 2026, scaling to up to 50% travel starting 2027; all travel and program-related expenses reimbursed
