The UNSW Summative Peer Review process I underwent in 2017 indicates 100% effectiveness of my teaching across all dimensions, including ‘effectively engaged students in active learning’. I have received several faculty and UNSW level awards for my teaching, most notably the university’s highest teaching award: UNSW Vice Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence (VCATE) in 2017. I am an accredited reviewer for both Formative and Summative Peer Review of Teaching. Since my last promotion, I have received one significant teaching grant (SEIF grant AUD45,000 for the CWAapp project) in 2017.

Overall satisfaction with my teaching across 7 surveys in 2018 was 97.2%. I examine student comments in MyExperience and I have responded to  feedback . For example, in 2018, I introduced sessions involving SP specifically for examination practice as well as entirely new clinical examination (OSCE) practice sessions into CS teaching, for the first time. The latter sessions are enormously resource intensive, involving three standard SPs (for history-taking practice), four SPs who were available for physical examination practice, three experienced SP assessors (who graded students on communication skills), three senior student Clinical Skills Demonstrators, the regular clinical tutor and finally the CS administrator to deal with logistics. These sessions have never been possible previously, since we have never before had the resources available – bearing in mind that we run 20 such sessions, two per day, across 2 weeks, in order for every student to participate. The evaluation of these sessions was positive: 97% found sessions to be ‘excellent’ (76%) or good (21%) in terms of preparing them for their OSCE. 98% of students preferred these sessions to the previous style of session they had been involved in the previous year. 95% of students found feedback on skills provided to be ‘very useful’ for their learning, and 97-98% of students also found peer grading and coming to consensus over grade decisions to be ‘very useful’ for learning. Student comments: “I thought they were an honestly fantastic initiative - incredibly helpful and cannot express how beneficial I think this was”, “Definitely have these in the future. It was really helpful to have that experience before … our real OSCE”
