The Professional Development (PD) Program Coordinator administers and coordinates the day-to-day operation of El Camino
Health’s professional development and clinical education programs, such as the HealthStream learning management system

competency records, supports organizational readiness for Joint Commission surveys and Magnet Program requirements, and
serves as a resource to those who rely on these programs.
In addition to program coordination, the role provides direct administrative support to the operational leaders of these
programs, including the Director of Clinical Education, the Director of the Magnet Program, and the Director of Clinical
Business Operations by coordinating meetings, materials, reporting, and follow-up that keep initiatives organized and on
track.
