My 25-year-long career in CME/CPD/IPCE has been incredibly rewarding in many ways. Most importantly, it launched me on a life-long-learning path at times wide as broadly following CPD and the science of learning literature, and often narrowed to specific interests – such as scholarship in CPD, communication in healthcare, motivation for learning, communities of practice and other ways to consider social aspects of learning, power structures in health care education, effective leadership in learning organizations for change and practice improvement, meaningful patient engagement in healthcare…. to name a few.
I have led creative and collaborative teams and enjoyed participating in developing and delivering many innovative and impactful learning and quality improvement strategies and longitudinal projects in various contexts, from local academic and regional hospital settings to national and international collaboratives. In all my different professional roles as an educator, administrator, leader, advisor, facilitator, strategist, peer and collaborator, I found opportunities for learning to be the most gratifying.
While my formal training was in economics and language and literature teaching, I am delighted and honored to continue my work as part of this community of CPD stakeholders and enthusiastic volunteers and happy to continue to give back, innovate and collaborate for the benefit of our field.
