Biography: Sarah graduated from the University of Bristol in 1986 with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and an intercalated degree in Anatomical Science. She worked in mixed practice in the Cotswolds where her main interest was dairy herd health and she gained an RCVS Certificate in Cattle Health and Production (1992). After moving to central Scotland in 1994, she changed to doing mostly small animal work. In 2001, Sarah did an MSc in computing science at the University of Glasgow and then a PhD (2003–2006) developing and validating the Haptic Cow: a virtual reality (VR) simulator used in veterinary training. Sarah joined LIVE in 2006 and is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Education.
Sarah has received several awards for her work in veterinary education and with haptic simulators:
- January 2011: First vet to receive a Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Educators
- September 2010: National Teaching Fellowship (read article)
- March 2010: Women of Outstanding Achievement in SET in the 'Discovery, Innovation and Entrepreneurship' category. Eight-nine women from industry and academia were nominated for the UK Resource Centre for Women. See news article
- October 2009: Times Higher Education's Most Innovative Teacher of the Year. Over 80 university teachers from around the UK were entered for the award in 2009. See RVC news
Sarah’s research interests include:
-
Haptic (touch) computer simulators for veterinary training and research:
- Haptic Cow, equine colic, feline abdominal palpation, and more...
- Public engagement workshops e.g. NESTA idiscover & Wellcome People Awards
- Psychophysics - investigating performance for palpation skills using haptic technology
- Integrated simulation e.g. the Simulated Fertility Visit using the Haptic Cow
- Haptic games - an engaging way to learn dexterity and perceptual skills
-
A wide range of Veterinary Education projects and research:
- Assessment in veterinary medicine (systematic review and Guide to Assessment)
- Peer assisted learning (PAL)
- Interprofessional Education (IPE)
- Work-based learning and EMS (extramural studies) including 'The EMS Driving Licence'
- Professionalism e.g. graduate attributes, business skills, impact of the gender shift on vet profession
- E-learning e.g. NOVICE: Web 2.0 and social networking in veterinary education - a 5 partner EU project
