I obtained my PhD in Kinesiology in 2001 from the University of Waterloo. Subsequently I completed an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroscience. Since joining the University of Toronto my research career has focused on studying how simulation techniques and learning-enabled technologies can accelerate the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes in health care professionals. I commenced at the Surgical Skills Centre, Mt. Sinai Hospital by studying factors influencing the acquisition of technical skills for surgery and particularly methods of optimizing simulation-based practice, factors influencing retention, maintenance and transfer of skills and the validation of innovative assessment methods to measure these effects. More recently, through my work at the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, and the SickKids Learning institute my interests have evolved to study the acquisition of complex clinical skills, behaviours and attitudes by contextualizing the simulated experiences.In 2013 I have joined Memorial University's Faculty of Medicine as the Academic Director of the Clinical Learning and Development Centre and most recently as the Principal Investigator and project lead for MUN MED 3D (www.med.mun.ca/Biomedical-Engineering/MUN-MED-3D), a simulation 3D printing laboratory and its outreach program MED 3D Network (www.med3dnetwork).
