Program Director Satisfaction With Leadership Skills

Context Educators in radiologic technology help students mature into health care professionals; however, not all educators receive formal training in education. The majority of radiologic technology educators train first as practitioners and later become educators.

Objective Identify areas for professional development and effective methods to learn leadership skills.

Methods Radiologic technology program directors from Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) accredited programs were surveyed and interviewed to determine their level of satisfaction with their leadership skills.

Results Results indicate program directors are satisfied with most of their leadership skills. Budget and resources, conflict resolution and communication were identified as areas for improvement. Program directors identified workshops and lectures as their preferred method of learning leadership skills.

Summary Program directors need to use a variety of skills for the successful operation of their programs. Even though results from this study indicate that radiologic technology program directors were satisfied overall with their leadership skills, there were areas that could use improvement.
