Tina Martimianakis |
Maria Athina (Tina) Martimianakis is the Director of Medical Education Scholarship, an Education Researcher in the Department of Paediatrics, and a Cross Appointed Scientist at the Wilson Centre, University of Toronto. She holds a Masters in Political Science, from Wilfrid Laurier University, a Masters in Education with a focus on health professional education and a Doctorate in Higher Education, both from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Tina also completed a Fellowship in Medical Education at the Wilson Centre, sponsored through the Department of Psychiatry. Drawing on critical social science theories and Foucauldian discourse analysis, Tina studies the effects of globalization on health professional education through a governmentality lense, looking specifically at the interface of discourse, governance and identity. This approach has allowed her to connect the global with the local and to relate educational phenomena to broader social concerns including medical tourism, poaching/brain drain of health professional resources from underserviced sectors and cross-cultural differences in what constitutes clinical competency. As well, she is exploring how discourses of integration manifest in every day medical education practices, including the integration of internationally educated health professionals in Canada. Previous work has explored interdisciplinarity as a process of knowledge production, including the politics of working across disciplinary domains ontologically, epistemologically and culturally. Tina is an active teacher and program developer and contributes to the enhancement of education scholarship within the Departments of Paediatrics, Psychiatry and the Faculty of Medicine more broadly. |

Frank PAPA |
Frank Papa is dual trained in both the practice of medicine (board certified in Emergency Medicine) and education (PhD in Higher Education, with a focus on the cognitive factors underlying diagnostic competence). Since 1981 he has continuously utilized the learning sciences literature to build his own artificial intelligence (AI)-based investigational tools (called KBIT – Knowledge Based Inference Tool). His evolving understanding of the learning sciences and continual modification of KBIT have served as the cornerstone for his ongoing reformulation of a cognitive and neuro-cognitive research framework for studying the knowledge base structures and information processing mechanisms underlying differential diagnosis. Over the past 15 years, Dr Papa has modified his framework to emulate a Dual Processing Theory (DPT)-based approach to investigating the roles of System 1 and System 2 knowledge base structures and information processes in differential diagnosis. Over the past 10 years this revised, DPT-based research framework has been used to produce a web-delivered approach to instruction and assessment in differential diagnosis. Dr Papa has authored over 100 publications, and national and international presentations, addressing the role of these cognitive and neuro-cognitive factors (knowledge base structures and information processing mechanisms) in medical decision making, and, their use in the design and implementation of more efficient and effective approaches in teaching to and assessing the development of diagnostic competence. More recently, Dr Papa has used his DPT research framework to create a 21st century approach to faculty development programming. |
