Our approach
We conduct research in all aspects of health professional education, and aim to work collaboratively with other researchers in the area. Our staff are educators who work across all levels of health professional education and have insight into the current challenges in the field.
Our research often involves aspects of simulation, but has also focused on bedside teaching, reflective practice and professionalism. We aim to contribute to the growing worldwide literature on effective teaching and learning in health care, and to incorporate our research findings into local practice.
We work with health professional students conducting research within their studies, and researchers completing higher degrees. We welcome other researchers in the field looking to collaborate to contact us.
