Shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals

At the core of her work, Dr Leopardi aims to prepare her students to thrive in the rapidly changing healthcare and technological landscape they will encounter, to provide high-quality and sensitive care for their patients, and to be positive agents of change in their communities, in society, and for the whole world. A creative thinker and award-winning educator, Dr Leopardi is deeply committed to creating student-centred learning environments that enrich the educational experience and shape the students' attitudes and behaviours towards excellence, integrity and inclusivity in their academic and professional careers.
