Clinical Assistant Professor
Clinical Coordinator for Radiologic Sciences Division
Email: bethany_stearns@med.unc.eduAs Clinical Coordinator for the Radiologic Sciences Division at UNC Chapel Hill, I oversee all aspects of clinical education for the program. I manage student placements across a range of affiliated clinical sites, maintain strong relationships with clinical partners, and serve as the primary instructor for students during their clinical rotations. My work ensures that students are not only meeting competency requirements but also developing the professional skills and confidence needed for real-world radiologic practice.
In addition to my instructional and coordination responsibilities, I am actively engaged in research focused on advancing radiologic science education and practice. My scholarly interests include radiation safety, the integration of gamification strategies in radiography curricula, and the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare education.
