Member of Sydney Southeast Asia Centre
I am incredibly passionate about understanding and improving health professional students’ learning while participating in workplace activities. As an Associate Professor, this has become the driving force behind my innovative research. I believe that students can be effectively integrated into service re-design to positively contribute to service delivery, patient outcomes, and most importantly, their own learning.
