Educational Scholarship
During my undergraduate degree, I was fortunate to begin my research career focusing on effective anatomical education at the Education Program in Anatomy. Over two years, I completed my thesis and variously different projects, including exploring the mechanisms underlying model efficacy in anatomical education considering the effectiveness of novel extended reality systems in the same context. Please consider the "Past Projects" page for more details. Below are my scholarly contributions resulting from these projects.
