Clarion University–Venango Campus Professor Appointed to
Tenure-Track Position
Professor Renee Bloom has been appointed Chair of Clarion
University’s Department of Allied Health in the School of Nursing and
Allied Health, which is located at the Venango Campus. She has been
appointed to a new tenure-track position, reflecting the university’s
commitment to the future growth and development of the department.
Professor Bloom was hired in January, 2005, to lead the new
Allied Health Department that was created when the School of Nursing was
reorganized in 2004. That reorganization was initiated in response to
the expansion of the radiologic sciences program and the development of
the respiratory care program, which was launched in fall 2006 in
partnership with UPMC Northwest and UPMC Horizon. An associate degree
in allied health is also offered, and new degrees are in the development
stage.
Professor Bloom came to Clarion University from Ohio Valley
General Hospital in McKees Rocks, where she served as Director of the
School of Radiography.
Professor Bloom began her clinical training at ACMH School of Radiologic
Technology in Kittanning, where she was awarded the D.W. Minteer Award
for Academic Excellence. She earned her bachelor’s degree in radiologic
science from LaRoche College and her master’s degree in health science
from Slippery Rock University. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in
Administration and Leadership Studies at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
Professor Bloom is a member of the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists, the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, and the
Pennsylvania Society of Radiologic Technologists. She serves on the
board of directors of the Northwest Pennsylvania Area Health Education
Center and is the Student Bowl Chair of Tri-State Educators in
Radiologic Technology.
