Academic Lead: Problem-based Learning
Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine
Bond University
Australia
An undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, followed by a Masters and PhD in plant and seed toxicology and mycology, I went on to obtain a Masters in Education. My interest in medical education began in the late 1990s when I was invited to be part of the Curriculum Development Task Force responsible for implementing a problem-based learning curriculum (University of Natal, which later became the University of KwaZulu-Natal). After several years as Head, Division of Histology, I was offered a post in Medical Education at the United Arab Emirates University. For almost 6 years, where I was largely involved in the first 4 years of the undergraduate medical program, I took up a position as Academic Lead (PBL) at Bond University. My research has largely revolved around student experiences in different parts of their training (e.g. the transition to the clinical environment, role models, the impact of their gender, etc.).
