Several years ago, a group of radiography program directors from the central Florida
and Tampa Bay area started a meeting to discuss and share teaching methods, student
problems and other education related issues. It was at these meetings that the idea of
conducting a seminar for students and educators first occurred. Our first West Coast
Educators Council sponsored seminar was 38 years ago and was attended by 150
students and educators, mostly from the Florida area. With the continued support of
outstanding speakers, and encouragement from local educators, our seminars are
now attended by over 1000 students and educators from all over the country.
We have now expanded our mission to include timely topics of interest for all
imaging technologists.
