I am an experienced academic and mixed methods researcher at the University of Sydney's Office of Medical Education. I have more than 25 years of expertise in the health sector, including more than 12 years of teaching Evidence-Based Medicine and conducting research on public health and medical education. I have created curricula and instructed numerous undergraduate and graduate courses. I am currently supervising research projects carried out by MD students that examine social and cultural determinants of health and disease. My current research interests are in developing and implementing effective assessment strategies, designing and evaluating assessment tools, and providing guidance on assessment practices to enhance medical education specifically targeted at improving medical students' research skills.
