Research Interests

The use of simulation and interprofessional education in Athletic Training  (AT) education, are two growing areas aimed at improving student perception of interprofessional collaboration, student learning outcomes and preparing students for professional practice.  My current research interests focus on the impact of simulation and interprofessional education in the AT curriculum.  My most recent research studies have assessed the impact of simulation enhanced interprofessional education on Athletic Training student’s perceptions of interprofessional collaboration.
