Prof Debra Nestel - Researcher Profile

Biography

Debra Nestel is Professor of Simulation Education in Healthcare for Monash University School of Rural Health.

Over the last thirty years, she has worked at the University of Hong Kong and Imperial College London.

In 2008, Debra joined GMS where she is responsible for educational research. She is leading a research team that is exploring the development of professional identity in medical students. Her other research interests include the role of simulation in supporting learning, particularly in procedural and operative skills. Debra pioneered the concept of patient-focused simulation (PFS) with her colleague Roger Kneebone. In PFS, a simulated patient and simulator model (urinary catheterization, suture pad etc) are ‘combined’ in a simulated environment in order to provide a learner-centred experience. The approach has been adopted internationally for teaching, learning and assessing procedural skills in undergraduate medical education.
