Research

Overview

Dr. Lineberry is focused on optimizing learning and performance in healthcare in several areas:

1. Rethinking how we derive best practices and standards for the performance of healthcare activities, as well as how we design and use systems for assessing and supporting such performance;

2. Understanding and enhancing interprofessional collaboration, both in patient care teams and in health professions education and performance research teams;

3. Understanding and enhancing learning and performance supports that are tailored for individual learners, e.g. supporting enhanced self-regulation of learning and investigating machine-"intelligent" computer-adaptive learning support systems; and

4. Understanding and optimizing simulation-based education broadly.

He and his collaborators' work has been supported with nearly $2 million in grant funding from the generous support of agencies including the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and National Board of Medical Examiners.
