IN HONOUR OF KATHLEEN FORAN
As written by Kathleen:
“With over twenty-five years of experience, Kathleen has extensive knowledge in the field of Sonography. She has worked in multiple scanning disciplines as well as in the fields of training and business. She has a Bachelor of Science degree along with diplomas in Radiology and Sonography. With this diverse and deep background she brings a wealth of experience to the position of Program Director.
Throughout her career, she has provided clinical education and support to sonographers and sonography students. Kathleen’s teaching experience includes being an Adjunct Professor of Sonography at George Washington University in the USA and the role of mentoring at Merivale Medical Imaging, The Ottawa Hospital, The Kingston General and Inova Fairfax Hospital. As a volunteer activity, Kathleen acted as the Program Coordinator for the Ottawa Valley Medical Sonographers (OVMS) providing continuing education programs to her peers.
During her tenure as the Executive Director for both the Canadian Association of Registered Diagnostic Ultrasound Professionals (CARDUP) and the Canadian Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (CSDMS), she oversaw the development of Canadian national sonography certification exams and significantly contributed to the growth and development of sonography as a recognized profession. In her role as a Product Specialist with Siemens Ultrasound, she worked as clinical expert alongside sonographers from across the country.
Kathleen’s previous role as the Practicum Coordinator for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program at Canadian National Institute of Health provided a natural progression into her current role as Program Director.”
