You will lead the design, scheduling, and quality assurance of simulation and skills lab experiences aligned with current accreditation standards (ACEN/CCNE), while building and sustaining clinical placement partnerships with hospitals, community health settings, and specialty sites throughout the region. Overseeing Resource Center staff, adjunct clinical faculty, and lab operations, including equipment and budget stewardship, will be central to your role, as will using outcome data to evaluate clinical education effectiveness and drive continuous program improvement.
