My current research focuses on interprofessional education and collaborative practice in health and social care professions’ training and primary care settings. I am also interested in learning modalities, working memory, memory lability, metacognition and the implementation of retrieval practice in Anatomical Education.
I have gained experience as a lecturer of anatomy, teaching assistant and research assistant at both Western and Queen’s. I have co-authored a Mammalian Embryonic Development textbook, and developed several course materials and anatomical specimens that are used to facilitate undergraduate, graduate and professional students’ learning of anatomy.
