Overview
Background
I have been an academic with a deep passion for biomedical and health education for over two decades, teaching extensively across various disciplines, including medicine, nursing, paramedicine, rehabilitation science, and biomedical science. My primary teaching responsibilities have included delivering courses in physiology, anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, clinical methodology, clinical bedside coaching, basic and advanced life skills, procedural skills, and virtual surgical skills to student cohorts ranging from 10 to 1,500. By integrating biomedical and clinical concepts, I have enhanced both learning outcomes and the overall student experience.
My significant contributions to health professionals' education have been recognized through numerous institutional awards and national teaching awards and nominations. Throughout my academic career, I have developed and implemented innovative teaching methodologies to enrich student understanding of basic and clinically applied sciences. These methodologies include eLearning, mLearning, VoPP, flipped classrooms, and patient- and simulation-based learning.
I take great pride in the diverse facets of my academic and professional roles, which have shaped my identity as a CBL tutor, course and module coordinator, lecturer, emerging researcher, and team leader. I am particularly humbled by the positive feedback from students, which continues to fuel my passion for fostering academic excellence and shaping the prosocial behaviors of future healthcare professionals.
