Research
My active research interests are in the field of resident feedback and teaching. I am particularly interested in why residents don't perceive feedback and how to improve this identification in clinical education. I also am working on a project using Observed Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) to increase experience, direct observation of teaching, and appropriate feedback for residents as they transition into teaching roles. My prior work has been on the relationship between poor vision and health literacy among hospitalized patients.
