SCS lecturer recognised for teaching excellence

Dr Simone Gibson and Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Gardner 
Dr Simone Gibson has been recognised for her outstanding teaching, receiving the 2017 Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence.

A senior lecturer in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, Dr Gibson teaches clinical dietetics, and engages work-based educators and promotes teaching excellence for work-integrated learning.

Dr Gibson said she helps prepare students to reach clinical competency and to gain employment in the fast-paced and often stressful hospital environment.

“My teaching and learning strategies are multi-faceted and include simulation and real-life patient interactions,” Dr Gibson said.

“I use a range of evaluation techniques including student learning and cost-effectiveness measures.”

Dr Gibson has published and presented internationally in clinical educational research and is an Associate Fellow for the Australia and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators. She has received over $70,000 in grants for educational research and initiatives which she uses to improve students and graduate outcomes. 

“It is a great honour to receive this award and I am so pleased that teaching is so valued at Monash,” Dr Gibson said.

Dr Gibson acknowledges the ongoing support of Deputy Dean Education, Professor Wayne Hodgson, Professor Helen Truby, Associate Professor Claire Palermo, Dr Kellie Tuck and the Monash Education Academy.
