Jeannine Nonaillada, PhD

My research interests lie within advancing medical educators in teaching abilities, scholarly activity and research fundamentals. I have published on the value of faculty development programs, emphasizing the influence of theory and conceptual frameworks on these initiatives. I am actively involved in many national organizations for faculty development in academic medicine. I am also a licensed occupational therapist with board certification in gerontology, a distinction less than 1% of occupational therapists hold nationally. I have studied and written on the importance of comprehensive geriatric assessments in the inpatient setting.  I have a passion for geriatric rehabilitation and educating older adults in the community to live safely in their homes. My background as an allied healthcare professional with a research degree in the social sciences allows me to bring a unique perspective to the physician faculty I work with.
