Research Interests:
Fieldwork education is constantly changing yet change itself is hard to implement. In an effort to promote continuous quality improvement in practice settings while assuring the best client outcomes, we need to regularly examine the changing forces and adapt our teaching to both new learners and new ways in the workplace. Scholarly contributions focus on innovations in International fieldwork, global health, models of student supervision, community service learning, mentoring, fieldwork capacity development, competency based evaluation, practice styles, teaching and technology.
Research Themes:
Global health and training
Impact of international fieldwork on student learning
Web-based education
Mentoring relationships in the workplace
Collaborative models of student supervision
Health care reform
Clinical business development
Clinical best practices
Research Areas:
community service learning
