Jeannine Nonaillada, PhD

My faculty development work centers on advancing the professional growth, effectiveness, and long-term success of academic health professions faculty. I design, lead, and evaluate longitudinal faculty development programs that strengthen teaching excellence, scholarly productivity, leadership capacity, and career advancement across the academic medicine continuum. A key focus of my role is integrating educational theory, adult learning principles, and conceptual frameworks into program design to ensure initiatives are intentional, evidence-based, and responsive to the evolving needs of faculty at different career stages. I provide mentorship and consultation to faculty on educational scholarship, including transforming teaching and programmatic work into peer‑reviewed publications and presentations. This includes guiding faculty through formulating research questions, study design, outcomes measurement, and dissemination strategies that align with promotion and tenure expectations. I also support faculty in developing educator portfolios, articulating teaching philosophies, and demonstrating impact through meaningful metrics and narratives.

Nationally, I am an active leader in several organizations for faculty affairs and educational scholarship in academic medicine, where I remain committed to creating and implementing evidence-informed initiatives for faculty growth and success.

I am also a licensed occupational therapist with board certification in gerontology, a distinction less than 1% of occupational therapists hold nationally. The complexities of aging and multi-faceted needs of older adults is something that I have always found intriguing, and so I have studied and written on the importance of comprehensive geriatric assessments in the inpatient setting, ensuring that all care providers on the interprofessional team realize and value the input of one another. I have a passion for geriatric rehabilitation and educating older adults in the community to live safely in their homes, and I share my expertise to our community members on fall prevention, managing chronic conditions, and home safety. My background as an allied healthcare professional with a research degree in the social sciences allows me to bring a unique perspective to the faculty I work with.
