which provides a framework of reference for diagnostic radiography educators and students<br />

to begin a learning journey that will enable the development of a culture of caring in<br />

radiography. I chose to write a collaborative piece for this eBook because I felt there was a<br />

need to share our experience with the larger radiography community. We often work in<br />

isolation and forget there are others out there like us, experiencing similar challenges and<br />

going through shared emotions. This eBook to me is a unification of the radiography<br />

population.<br />

Working in education during the pandemic has been a new experience with its own benefits,<br />

challenges, and lessons learned. This is why the idea of contributing to this e-<strong>book</strong> was very<br />

appealing to me - because the e-<strong>book</strong> allows professionals from around the world to share<br />

their experiences of adapting to and working within a pandemic, so that we can learn from<br />

each other.<br />

I am grateful to work with amazing, dedicated colleagues, and hope that the experiences<br />

we’ve shared in this e-<strong>book</strong> can be helpful to our colleagues around the world.<br />
