Professional Background

All learners need an environment where they can explore the limits of their knowledge in a psychologically safe space. My fundamental approach to teaching is based in granting autonomy for making medical decision at a level appropriate to a learner’s training.

Remarkable advancements occur in a learner's professional development when they are encouraged to take responsibility for the decisions they make.

In a collaborative environment, my goal as an educator is to facilitate discussion and exploration, with a specific focus on teaching clinical reasoning and management reasoning skills.

All learning requires investigation and one of my main roles as an educator is to teaching learners where to obtain access to the best medical evidence. Good answers require good questions, and it’s essential to teach one another how to ask good questions.

Remaining teachable is essential to lifelong learning and maintaining a posture of humility as an educator allows a better learning environment and facilitates my own professional development, in addition to demonstrating this behavior for my learners.

I have a specific interest in medical simulation and debriefing.
