An integral member of the
Joint Department of Medical Imaging (JDMI), the
General Radiology and CT Education & Practice Lead assumes oversight of professional practice, policy, and staff education considerations across general radiology and computed tomography (CT).

This includes being accountable to maintaining relationships and close collaboration with operational general radiology and CT leadership (manager and supervisors), interprofessional colleagues (radiologist division head), and other stakeholders within JDMI and at the broader organizational and professional level.

The role involves high level support of optimization and standardization (where relevant) of policy and practice across general radiology and CT, aligning with other modalities where appropriate, and informing and guiding the work of the General Radiology and CT Practice Resources.

It will also involve leading the Technologist Image Quality Peer Learning Program at the modality level, including Quality Rounds, under the oversight of the Manager, Education & Practice.

Finally, the General Radiology and CT Education & Practice Lead will serve as a champion and mentor for research and academic practice within the modality, leading process improvement and knowledge translation while also enlisting necessary resources and support for other staff to do the same.

The
Education & Practice Lead must demonstrate high standards of clinical practice knowledge, skill, and patient care, while also maintaining comprehensive knowledge of aligned policies and practices across JDMI partner sites (both locally and at the corporate level).

It is expected that the Education & Practice Lead will participate in academic and professional growth/development activities, courses and programs and also to develop mechanisms to support other staff in engaging in such activities.

Seen as a leader within the broader medical imaging team, the Education & Practice Lead will both lead and participate in quality initiatives and program development across the JDMI partner hospitals, considering staff needs while maintaining clinical operational workflows and processes.

The Education & Practice Lead will perform cross-functional duties consistent with job classification, as required.

_ Note:

_This position will include a combination of imaging duties in General Radiology and/or CT and administrative time to support education and practice.
