Overview

Background

Christy is registered pharmacist with more than 17 years’ experience as a clinical educator and educational researcher, in both academic and clinical settings. Her clinical education experiences have been underpinned by my formal postgraduate qualifications, Master of Education (Clinical Education) and Doctor of Philosophy (Pharmacy Education). Her Doctor of Philosophy (University of Queensland, 2014) examined pharmacy curriculum and its influence on professional identity formation. This research has served as a platform for an ongoing research program in workplace learning in medical and health professional education, which has been recognised internationally.

Research impacts

Christy's research is mainly situated in the field of health professions education with a particular interest in workplace and interprofessional learning. Her medical and health professions education research contributions illuminate learning opportunities that exist in practice i.e. clinical settings and provide insights on how workplace learning can be augmented.

The key impacts of my research include:

  1. Development and implementation of innovative feedback literacy programs to improve healthcare students and junior doctors engagement in workplace feedback. Our findings have demonstrated that health care students are more actively engaged in workplace feedback thus generating improved learning outcomes.
  2. Implementation and evaluation of interprofessional co-supervision model of pharmacists supervising junior doctors to improve prescribing practices. The program has demonstrated, through comprehensive reflective activities, improve pharmacists’ interprofessional capability and ability to facilitate junior doctor prescribing learning. Our findings suggest that pharmacist and junior doctor co-working improved as a result of this program.
  3. Identification of key features of productive learning environments for health care professionals (including medical practitioners and pharmacists).
