Drawing on EDA, self-report, & speech content, we found that medical residents clustered into an ‘emotionally balanced, minimal arousal group” showed a higher propensity for confronting a senior medical resident (SP) behaving unprofessionally during a sim.

We found that medical residents randomly assigned to complete an anti-harassment simulation after watching an educational video on bystander interventions behaviorally outperformed those who completed the simulation before watching the video.

We examined medical residents’ emotions during simulation training & found that team leaders reported higher levels of shame 😔post-simulation compared to team members. Happiness & hopefullness 😁predicted perceptions of team performance & team mood. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Using machine learning (lasso) we found that human coding of self- and socially-shared regulation strategies predicted medical residents electrodermal activation (EDA) during a medical simulation.

We developed an animated story-driven media literacy video to improve media credibility accuracy—it was a lot of fun! We also evaluated it, looking at credibility accuracy 🎯 & epistemic emotions 😊🤯😅🧐

We created & used a new rubric to evaluate anti-harassment policies from 16 Canadian Medical Schools and the top 10 QS-ranked international universities. Learn about strengths & areas for improvement!

Congratulations to my doctoral candidates, Sayed Azher & Keerat Grewal on passing their PhD oral exams Friday & today! So proud of you both! 🎉🎊 A huge thank you to the oral defence committee members! Wonderful to celebrate together (with homemade cake) with SAILS Lab members after.

Our new article & first from my SSHRC-funded program of research on using simulation with SP methodology & animated videos to equip surgical residents with tools & experience serving as bystanders when simulated harassment occurs during a medical procedure.

Honored to have been recognized as an emerging simulation leader by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) & grateful for the fabulous mentorship & connections made through the Ascend Program at #imsh2025.

Deeply honoured to be amongst those to receive a Certificate of Merit Award from The Canadian Association of Medical Education! www.came-acem.ca/awards/came-...

In simulated crisis resource management training, successful leaders made more frequent use of communication, organizational, & group regulation strategies & were better able to leverage their medical teams’ assets than those who did not. Our newest pub out today!
