Hello! My title changed over the summer from Field Education Director to Practicum Education Director. Our faculty voted to approve a language changes in practicum education courses at the recommendation of the practicum education committee, and my title change reflected alignment with the faculty-approved language.
Something that may be different in my situation is that I am a clinical assistant professor, and our department seems to have latitude to refine additional titles.
Good luck!

Good morning!
After extensive discussions, our university has decided to transition from using "field" to "practicum." Surprisingly, the first challenge we're facing is the adjustment of my job title, a task I initially thought would be straightforward. Our HR team has asked for examples from other universities that have undergone similar changes. If your institution has already made this adjustment, could you please share the updated title with me? I appreciate your assistance.
