Job Description

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

(LMS), Relationship-Based Care (RBC), Crisis Prevention Instruction (CPI), the ECH Clinical Ladder program, and more.

Reporting to the Director of Clinical Education, this role serves as the central point of coordination and governance for these

programs by ensuring learning assignments, competencies, records, and program logistics are accurate, timely, compliant,

and consistently delivered across clinical staff.

Working with a high degree of independence, the PD Program Coordinator handles a wide range of program administration

tasks, resolves atypical or infrequently occurring issues using established precedents and practices, and applies discretion to

improve workflows and prevent avoidable rework. The role safeguards the integrity of regulatory-required training and

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.

Crisis Prevention Instruction, Clinical Ladder, and others by managing enrollment, scheduling, materials, tracking, and

• Monitors mandatory education and competency due dates; proactively identify at-risk assignments and coordinates with

Nursing Professional Development Specialists (NPDS) and Clinical Managers to maintain survey readiness.

• Generates, maintains, and distributes completion, compliance, and competency reports; responds accurately and

promptly to requests from leadership, regulatory bodies, and accrediting agencies (e.g., Joint Commission, CDPH, CMS,

Magnet).

• Resolves atypical or non-routine program, scheduling, LMS, and data issues using established precedents and practices;

escalates broader risks as appropriate.

• Maintains program documentation, job aids, and reference materials; guides and supports NPDS, managers, and staff in

navigating HealthStream and program requirements.

• Coordinates with vendors and system partners (e.g., HealthStream) on configuration, updates, and issue resolution.

• Provides direct administrative support to the operational leaders of professional development programs—including the

Director of Clinical Education, the Director of the Magnet Program, and the Director of Clinical Business Operations.

• Prepares and formats agendas, meeting notes, presentations, and executive summaries for program leaders; tracks
