Commitment to Clinical Education
Winner – Susan Redmann Brodeur – St. Joseph’s Care Group
Susan contributes greatly to clinical education and takes learners frequently, even during the pandemic when offering a placement opportunity came with challenges.
She goes above and beyond to provide a learning experience that is meaningful and valuable for her learners, which was highlighted when she personally advocated for a learner’s short placement to be extended in order to help improve this learner’s clinical skills and confidence. The extended opportunity allowed this learner to enhance her skills and feel more competent as a clinician.
