I am currently a Scientist at The Wilson Centre, and Associate Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. I completed my PhD in cognitive psychology with a primary interest in categorization and human memory. My research focus over the last ten years has been understanding the integration of basic and clinical sciences in clinical reasoning. I use theories from cognitive psychology to understand the mental processes and structures that underpin expertise across the health professions.
My all-time favourite book is The Colour Purple by Alice Walker. I cannot commit to a single podcast because I listen to them compulsively. I highly recommend The Daily, Dr. Death, Serial, and Buried Truths.
When I’m not listening to podcasts, I like watching what others might call trashy reality TV (I prefer the term high quality programming). Ideally, I’d watch with my children and husband, but I’ve found that few people appreciate a 90 Day Fiancé marathon the way I do.
