IHSE MEETING

AGENDA

(9:00 - 11:00)

Visiting Scholar, Dr. Christopher Watling

Chris Watling is Professor in the Departments of Oncology, Clinical Neurological Sciences, and Family Medicine at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University in London, Canada. He is the Vice Dean (Acting), Education Scholarship and Strategy, the Director of Schulich’s Centre for Education Research and Innovation, and a Faculty Scholar at Western University. A neurologist by clinical training, he holds a Masters in Medical Education from the University of Dundee and a PhD in Health Professions Education from Maastricht University. As a researcher, Chris studies why doctors are difficult to coach, why feedback frequently misses the mark, and why professional culture so often undermines the best laid curriculum plans. He is an avid teacher of academic writing, and is the co-author, with Lorelei Lingard, of a recent book on the subject - Story, Not Study: 30 Brief Lessons to Inspire Health Researchers as Writers (Springer 2021).
