    We are excited to confirm the following speakers below for the 2024 ANZAHPE Conference.

    Associate Professor Kirsty Freeman FSSH, MHPE, BNur

    Kirsty Freeman is the Academic Coordinator of the Rural Clinical School of Western Australia penultimate year program. A Fellow of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare and Board Member of the Society for Simulation in European (SESAM), she is a recognised world leader in the application of simulation in health professions’ education, with 20 years’ experience in healthcare education, assessment, and research. Kirsty has worked across a variety of healthcare disciplines including medicine, nursing, allied health, and paramedicine, and has extensive experience in providing simulation-based experiences to undergraduate healthcare students, through to experienced healthcare providers. Born and raised in rural regions of Western Australia, she is passionate about growing the healthcare workforce in rural and remote environments to ensure healthcare access for those communities. Kirsty is excited to share her passion for health professions education at ANZAHPE 2024 in Adelaide.

    Dr Naomi Steenhof

    Dr Naomi Steenhof holds a PhD in health professions education research. She is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto, a scholar at The Wilson Centre, and a pharmacist at the University Health Network. Her research interests focus on the development of adaptive expertise in health professionals, with a particular concentration on instructional strategies that assist novices in acquiring the conceptual knowledge they need to learn in the future. Naomi uses theories from psychology to understand how learners transfer knowledge from a familiar classroom environment into the ambiguous and unpredictable world of clinical practice. Her main research goal is to use this knowledge to create educational programs that train skilled and innovative clinicians, enabling them to effectively handle complexities in the workplace.

    Professor Lambert Schuwirth

    Lambert Schuwirth is a medical educator who has specialised in the field of medical education, particularly in the assessment of medical competence and performance. After completing his medical degree (MD) and his PhD at Maastricht University, he dedicated himself to medical education and research starting in the early 1990s. His career at Maastricht University spanned almost 20 years, where he held various positions including assistant, associate, and full professor in the Department of Educational Development and Research. In 2011, he transitioned to Flinders University in Adelaide, where he currently serves as a Strategic Professor in Medical Education within the College of Medicine and Public Health.

    Throughout his career, he has been deeply involved in the development and refinement of assessment methods in medical education. He has held key roles in overseeing assessment processes, such as chairing inter-university progress test review committees and OSCE review committees. His advisory work extends beyond the Netherlands to include the UK and other international contexts. Additionally, he holds adjunct professorships at several other institutions globally, indicating his broad influence in the field of medical education.

    His responsibilities at Flinders University include leading research in medical education and contributing to teaching and curriculum development. He is particularly interested in scientific research methods, learning processes, and assessment basics. He is involved in supervising research on topics like assessment design, clinical education, and the outcomes of innovation in medical education.

    Welcome to one of our newest members, Jane Dow.

    Jane has a clinical background as a physiotherapist over 13 years experience. Jane's health education journey began when supervising undergraduate physiotherapy students as a clinician working predominantly in neurology, then student coordinator, teaching and mentoring roles at Barwon Health for physiotherapy and junior medical interns. Electing to study units in evidenced based practice, quality improvement framework, design, and implementation as a part of the completion of a Graduate Certificate in Burns and Trauma Rehabilitation (University of Notre Dame, WA), complimented Jane's passion for education, by striving for the delivery of high value healthcare.

    "Currently as the Clinical Director at Allied Therapy Services I bring my health education skills to support the Clinical Lead Team who support our therapists across Regional Victoria. Last year we developed our undergraduate student program and are excited to grow this in the future.

    I have also worked in higher education over the past 5 years, as a regular sessional facilitator at Deakin University for their Collaborative Practice in Healthcare Unit and at the Australian Catholic University in various roles. I really get a kick out of being involved with undergraduate teaching, and passionate about setting up students for success as they transition from university to the healthcare workforce. I particularly enjoy facilitating interprofessional education and collaborative practice.

    There are some wonderful ANZAHPE members I have met and up-skilling sessions I undertook last year. This year I decided to become a member to expand my networks, feed my passion for healthcare education and continue to learn from the great resources available."
