Radiography educators are encouraged to put themselves forward for the leadership conference hosted by the American Society of Radiological Technologists (ASRT).
The Leadership Academy for Educators (LAE) comprises a three-day residential programme, held in Albuquerque, for approximately 20 selected educators who are at or near the beginning of their career in radiography education. It provides significant development and mentorship for those selected to participate.
Once again, the ASRT has reserved one place for a UK candidate, including accommodation and all LAE materials. The SoR will fund the awardee’s travel costs to a maximum of £500.
Keren Williamson, a radiotherapy and oncology lecturer from Cardiff University, is a previous winner of the scholarship. She commented: “The academy has provided me with valuable tools for developing my leadership skills, as well as an insight into what is possible if we are committed to change and willing to try.
"I would encourage all new radiography educators to apply for any future scholarships – I guarantee that the successful applicant will not be disappointed!”
Applicants must submit a written 1000 word statement explaining why they feel they would benefit from the award, how they would disseminate learning locally and nationally, and what they might hope to do as a result of the experience.
The successful applicant will be asked to write a report on the experience suitable for inclusion in Synergy News and for consideration by the SoR Research Group.
The closing date for applications is noon Wednesday 14 January 2009. Don't delay!
