Research Synopsis

Research Statement.
Family Medicine education is dependent on faculty performing dual roles as clinicians as well as teachers. Supporting teachers in their roles as preceptors is fundamental however often neglected due to demands inherent in clinical work. Examining the needs and gaps in faculty development and creating innovative and relevant resources to support teachers in medical education are key elements of my scholarly research. The focus of my research draws largely on my extensive experience and productivity related to faculty development.
