The Anatomy Lab Coordinator works under minimal supervision with substantial autonomy and professional judgment to manage all aspects of the Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Human Anatomy laboratory (BIOL 2325) curriculum implementation and resource management. Additionally, this position may assist with the management of other biology labs (such as BIOL 1035, BIOL 1055, BIOL 1075, BIOL 2025, BIOL 2035, BIOL 2065, and/or BIOL 2425) and shared spaces as needed.
As the department's recognized subject matter expert in human anatomy laboratory operations, this position works closely with anatomy faculty course leads and provides essential expertise for curriculum implementation. While formal budget approval ultimately rests with the Associate Dean, this position exercises significant budgetary management with minimal oversight.
The coordinator is responsible for the strategic planning, implementation, and evaluation of lab operations across multiple campuses. This responsibility includes comprehensive management of lab resources including procurement, weekly set-up, inventory, and budget tracking; direct coordination with the SLCC Body Donor Program Coordinator on body donor acquisition and maintenance; coordination with the dissection instructor on BIOL 2325 needs; development and enforcement of safety protocols; co-leadership in hiring, training, mentoring and scheduling of lab instructors; consistent coordination with and receiving direction from faculty course leads on curriculum implementation and standardization; and teaching labs as appropriate.
The coordinator aids in cross-departmental initiatives related to anatomy education and serves as a critical liaison with Health Science programs whose students depend on these courses for their educational pathways. This position demonstrates creativity and innovation in solving complex problems and implements strategic improvements that enhance program quality and student success, while working within the curriculum framework established by faculty.
