    Personal profile

    Research Interests

    My research is at the nexus of healthcare pedagogy, health systems, and digital technologies. I aim to enhance healthcare education through critically framed pedagogies that improve learning outcomes and equip healthcare professionals with the needed skills to care for complex clients. Concurrently, I use a complex systems approach to understand better opportunities and barriers to optimize health services, reduce costs, and personalize patient care. Central to my work is the innovative application of digital technologies within both education and healthcare systems. Ultimately, my research strives to create an interconnected healthcare ecosystem that is efficient, effective, and patient-centric, significantly advancing both education and health outcomes.
