Rate My Professor Michelle Kelly

Her primary research specializations include simulation-based education in nursing—encompassing high-fidelity, virtual, audio-visual, and interprofessional simulations—patient safety, communication skills training for discharge planning, goals of care discussions, and organ donation conversations, clinical judgement development, pedagogy, and technology-enhanced learning. Contributions extend to midwifery philosophy, such as the concept of midwives being 'with woman'. Notable publications comprise 'Use of Simulated Patients to Develop Communication Skills in Nursing Education: An Integrative Review' (2016), 'Midwives Being ‘With Woman’: An Integrative Review' (2017), 'Video Reflection in Discharge Communication Skills Training With Simulated Patients: A Qualitative Study' (2019), 'An Evidence-Based Checklist for Improving Scoping Review Quality' (2019), 'Realism and Presence in Simulation: Nursing Student Perceptions and Learning Outcomes' (2019), 'Cultivating Empathy Through the Development of a Virtual Empathy Museum' (2021), and 'Progress in the Quest to Improve Patient Safety through Simulation' (2020). Boasting 113 publications, over 2,556 citations, and 24,214 reads, her scholarship profoundly impacts nursing education and simulation practices. Michelle holds editorial positions as Associate Editor for Clinical Simulation in Nursing and Advances in Simulation. Awards include Fellowship of the Curtin Academy (2020) for leadership in learning and teaching, innovative student engagement, and evidence-based pedagogy; Fellowship of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (FSSH); and four national learning and teaching awards.
