As a clinician for 17 years, Jacque has also provided support and training to many students and new graduates and has developed many educational resources. Additionally, she serves as a UNSW university-wide Community of Practice co-lead and Medical Education Group co-lead, contributing to the development and evaluation of teaching initiatives.
Jacque's scholarly interests lie within the areas of interprofessional practice, health professional new graduate support and teaching innovations including the development of virtual reality modules, podcasts, blended learning and simulation. She is currently leading and contributing to multiple research projects in these areas. She has presented at several educational conferences in 2024, including the ANZAHPE conference, and has secured multiple educational grants. In 2023, she completed a Graduate Certificate in Health Professions Education at Monash University.
"As a member of ANZAHPE, I have had the opportunity to network with a range of health professional educators across Australia and New Zealand and to keep up to date with relevant research and teaching initiatives. I have found ANZAHPE to be exceptionally welcoming and supportive. Having been involved in the ANZAHPE mentorship program, several ANZAHPE conferences and professional development sessions, I applied for Associate Fellowship as I am keen to support other health professional educators both at academic institutions and in clinical practice."
