We found that Internal Medicine residents used varied bystander intervention strategies when managing simulated harassment, yet many defaulted to passive responses, potentially indicating hesitancy, uncertainty, or deference to hierarchy.

We found the first evidence of physiological synchrony (PS) amongst medical residents in team-based simulation & positive correlation between PS & team leaders’ performance in our newest publication fist-authored by one of my former MSc students.

We identified six types of bothersome events during virtual simulation interaction. Encountering bothersome events significantly increased nursing students’ EDA (physiological activation). Implications for virtual simulation design.

Drawing on EDA, self-report, & speech content, we found that medical residents clustered into an ‘emotionally balanced, minimal arousal group” showed a higher propensity for confronting a senior medical resident (SP) behaving unprofessionally during a sim.

We found that medical residents randomly assigned to complete an anti-harassment simulation after watching an educational video on bystander interventions behaviorally outperformed those who completed the simulation before watching the video.

We examined medical residents’ emotions during simulation training & found that team leaders reported higher levels of shame 😔post-simulation compared to team members. Happiness & hopefullness 😁predicted perceptions of team performance & team mood. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Using machine learning (lasso) we found that human coding of self- and socially-shared regulation strategies predicted medical residents electrodermal activation (EDA) during a medical simulation.

We developed an animated story-driven media literacy video to improve media credibility accuracy—it was a lot of fun! We also evaluated it, looking at credibility accuracy 🎯 & epistemic emotions 😊🤯😅🧐

We created & used a new rubric to evaluate anti-harassment policies from 16 Canadian Medical Schools and the top 10 QS-ranked international universities. Learn about strengths & areas for improvement!

Congratulations to my doctoral candidates, Sayed Azher & Keerat Grewal on passing their PhD oral exams Friday & today! So proud of you both! 🎉🎊 A huge thank you to the oral defence committee members! Wonderful to celebrate together (with homemade cake) with SAILS Lab members after.

The paper is part of a special issue on "Emotion Regulation in Education" due to appear soon in Learning and Instruction - thank you @jasonmharley.bsky.social for your initiative and dedication to this critically important topic!

Our new article & first from my SSHRC-funded program of research on using simulation with SP methodology & animated videos to equip surgical residents with tools & experience serving as bystanders when simulated harassment occurs during a medical procedure.

Honored to have been recognized as an emerging simulation leader by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) & grateful for the fabulous mentorship & connections made through the Ascend Program at #imsh2025.

Deeply honoured to be amongst those to receive a Certificate of Merit Award from The Canadian Association of Medical Education! www.came-acem.ca/awards/came-...

In simulated crisis resource management training, successful leaders made more frequent use of communication, organizational, & group regulation strategies & were better able to leverage their medical teams’ assets than those who did not. Our newest pub out today!

Grateful to have the chance to celebrate a wonderfully productive 2024 with my stellar graduate students this week!

Our dept was so lucky to hear from Dr. Jason Harley as part of our distinguished speaker series! Their work is so inspiring—thank you Jason! @aera-motsig.bsky.social
