Session Description/Research Abstract
Building upon Part 1, Part 2 of the Educator’s Institute will dive deeper into the 2022 ATRA RT/TR Fieldwork Education Survey results pertaining to curricula and coursework not including the NCTRC-eligible internship. Attendees will compare the use of fieldwork in their own curriculum considering the survey findings and engage in discussion about ways to improve the quality and consistency of fieldwork within their RT/TR curricula as well as across academic programs. This session is appropriate for current and future RT/TR educators and fieldwork coordinators. Laptops and access to curricular materials are highly encouraged for this session.
