Shellie Warino of the Salem Campus was named to the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) for a three-year term beginning in 2023.
The JRCERT is the only organization recognized by the United States Committee on Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation for the accreditation of educational programs in radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance and medical dosimetry.
Warino will represent the JRCERT at the annual radiation therapist meeting sponsored by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. She was selected to this board following an application and interview process.
Warino served as a site visitor for the JRCERT for the past 15 years and as a team chair for five years. She conducted site visits throughout the United States for radiology, radiation therapy and dosimetry education programs seeking initial and/or continuing programmatic accreditation.
Aside from certificates in radiology and radiation therapy, Warino also earned a bachelor’s degree in allied health from Youngstown State University; a master’s degree in health education; and a post-master’s certificate in higher education-community college leadership. She completed more than 30 hours toward a doctorate degree in health education, as well.
Prior to joining Kent State in 2006, Warino worked as a radiation therapy clinical coordinator at the Community College of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh and, earlier, as a radiologic technologist and radiation therapist at Mercy Health in Youngstown.
