My goal is to advocate and find support for innovation in medical education broadly - finding the best ways to train healthcare professionals. This includes assisting academic healthcare professionals in bringing a scholarly approach to the practice of teaching and assessing learners to ensure they meet the standards expected by society for competency, proficiency and mastery of clinical practice.

The Educational Impact of Bench Model Fidelity on the Acquisition of Technical Skill - The Use of Clinically Relevant Outcome Measures
Annals of Surgery
The goal of this research program is to develop a basic understanding of surgical skill. This has lead to the following developments: -Recommendations for novel training methods in surgical skills -Simulator validity and effectiveness -Novel ways to assess performance in surgery and related disciplines This paper in particular has opened the way for assessing performance in the simulator setting using clinically-relevant metrics.

Systematic Review of Simulation in Health Professions Education
Journal of the American Medical Association
This paper was a comprehensive synthesis of all the research in simulation-based healthcare education concerned with technology-enhanced simulation, covering over 10,000 published papers from 1967 to 2011. Technically, this was a systematic review and meta-analysis, and is currently being used to guide future directions in research in this burgeoning field.
