Colin Evans (MD)

Resident physician, Emergency Medicine, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University

Research Interests / Specializations: I’m interested in team performance in medicine. Currently I’m examining aspects of team cognition as they pertain to action teams in emergency and critical care settings with the goal of developing a tool for measuring these constructs in live and simulated resuscitations. Other projects on the go include a questionnaire and qualitative study examining the role of informal social networks on mentorship and practice patterns in prehospital care organizations.

Jennifer Klasen (MME, FMH)

Clarunis, Department of Visceral Surgery, University Center for Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, St. Claraspital and University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland. PhD Candidate, School of Health Professions Education, Maastricht University, Maastricht, Netherlands

Research Interests / Specializations: I am intrigued by learning from failure personally, professionally, and organizationally. My research program explores the phenomenon of allowing failure in the clinical workplace. I hope to contribute to a better understanding of learning from failure, and move the field toward a growth mindset, where failure is seen as a way of learning not involving blame and shame.

Alena Tarasevich

Research Interests / Specializations: How do different clinical settings shape practice and learning in practice? What role do time and space play in this? How do other material things or materials (for example, technology, policy, staffing and scheduling) shape outcomes of practice? What effects does practice variability have on what is being consistently achieved in practice and what is possible to achieve?
