Contributers to Learner Difficulty

Client: Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia (UBC)

Audience: Clinical preceptors across British Columbia's healthcare system

About

This infographic was developed to support a lecture delivered by faculty leadership on Supporting Learners in Difficulty for clinical preceptors. The goal was to translate complex, research-based guidance from multiple journal articles into a clear, actionable, and visually engaging one-page resource.

Clinical preceptors are busy healthcare professionals. The resource needed to be immediately usable, cognitively efficient, and aligned with institutional branding standards. The product was developed within a tight timeline after consultation with faculty leadership.

The Challenge

Transform dense, research-based literature with advanced theoretial frameworks on teaching medical education into a practical, one-page resource for busy clinical educators. The project was succesfully completed under tight timelines and served as an exemplar of institutional branding.

Design Approach

I applied instructional design principles to ensure the infographic functioned as a cognitive scaffold, rather than just a summary. The project applies visual hierarchy and cognitive load principles to enhance clarity and retention. I ensured my design aligned with the branding guidelines, and the need for print and digital.

Outcomes & Impact

The final product reinforced key points visually and cognitively while increasing retention and post-session usability. It also contributed to the quality and credibility of educational programming delivered by the UBC Faculty of Medicine and supported clinical educators working across the provincial healthcare system.

Quick Resource for Surgical Coaching

Client: Surgical Faculty Development Lead

Audience: Surgical preceptors in the Vancouver Fraser Medical Program, University of British Columbia (UBC)

About

This educational resource was created to extend learning beyond a faculty development workshop on coaching in surgical education. The goal was to transform session content into an accessible, high-impact reference tool that surgical faculty could apply in their day-to-day teaching practice.

Approach & Impact

I partnered with subject matter experts to organize and refine content, translating key concepts into a clear and actionable resource. Through strategic use of visual hierarchy, imagery, and branding, I created a design that improved readability, reinforced key messages, and aligned with UBC's communication standards. The final product strengthened knowledge retention, supported ongoing faculty development, and provided educators with a practical tool for coaching learners within and beyond the operating room.
