Dr Sarah Meiklejohn is a dietitian, educator and researcher based at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She is currently a Lecturer and Education Coordinator at the Monash Centre for Scholarship in Health Education (MCSHE). Her strong research background and scholarly approach is grounded in key learnings from her PhD which explored government health and wellbeing policy initiatives, employing a variety of qualitative research methods with a strong focus on interpretive policy analysis. As an emerging methodology in health professions education, Sarah is currently sharing this applied knowledge and expertise of policy analysis across a variety of national projects. She is best known for her research focused on work integrated learning, interprofessional education and collaborative practice, accreditation, certification and regulatory policy in health professions education.

“ANZAHPE has been pivotal in my transition to an academic career in health professions education and it became clear to me at last year’s conference on the Gold Coast that I had ‘found my community’ of passionate, creative educators and researchers. As an early career researcher, I was struck by the welcoming, exciting and generous nature of the ANZAHPE community. Associate Fellowship with ANZAHPE will provide me with further opportunities to work within this community and show my commitment to excellence for all health professions education graduates. I hope to explore future collaboration opportunities and importantly grow as an educator and researcher.”
