Redeemer Health Ultrasound Supervisor Recognized for Educating Students

Jaime Schmitt, RDMS, RVT, Ultrasound/X-ray Supervisor at Redeemer Health, recently received the Clinical Educator Award from Thomas Jefferson University (TJU). Jaime was recognized for her dedication to educate, encourage, and instruct TJU general and vascular sonography students.

Redeemer Health and Thomas Jefferson University have partnered for over 10 years to offer a program to help educate and train sonography students. Vascular sonography uses ultrasound machines to produce images of patients’ veins and arteries using high-frequency sound waves. The process helps physicians use images to diagnose and treat various conditions.

“I am honored to receive this award, and it is great seeing my students excel in their skill. Redeemer is a known clinical site, and when students leave here, they have the confidence and ability to produce high-quality ultrasound scans and excel in their job,” says Jaime.

Selected by students working in the program and Maria Stanczak, Assistant Professor and Vascular Sonography Clinical Coordinator at TJU, Jaime was chosen because of her tireless efforts to helping her students excel and giving them valuable feedback to strengthen their skills. Maria explains that “Jaime is proactive in getting the students to where they need to be and adapts individual plans for our students, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach.”

Jaime prepares students to be general and vascular sonography technologists, teaches them how to scan a patients’ arteries and veins to recognize clots and plaque, as well as educates them on how to help prevent patients from having any long-term effects, such as strokes. Students can work with Jaime and the Redeemer Health ultrasound department for six months up to two years.
