Clinical Education Coordinator, Surgical Services
About the role
We're hiring a Clinical Education Coordinator to support in scaling onsite clinical operations for our Surgical Technology and Sterile Processing programs. You'll be a consistent, on-the-ground point of contact for client-side clinical coordinators, preceptors, and students — handling site activation, clinical coordination, student support, and day-to-day client communication. Success in this role looks like students completing their clinical rotations successfully, and strong, trusting relationships with the site- and hospital-level stakeholders who make that possible. This role requires regular travel to clinical sites — 50%+ of your time overall. If you're energized by the chance to build a brand-new function from an unfinished playbook, and to shape how the next generation of surgical technologists and sterile processing technicians make it through clinicals — we'd love to hear from you.

- Serve as the primary point of contact for client-side clinical coordinators and preceptors across your sites.
- Onboard preceptors directly, or alongside client-side coordinators, through in-person or virtual sessions.
- Ensure preceptor evaluations are completed in a timely and thorough manner, and coordinating with preceptors and students as necessary.
