Sandra Monteiro, PhD

I am a Racialized, neurodivergent health professions education scholar who challenges underlying assumptions in health professions education. I am inspired by theories and evidence from cognitive neuroscience, social psychology and endarkened epistemologies.

My professional roles are scientist in the MERIT research centre, director of scholarship for the centre of simulation based learning, and associate professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Leadership, Innovation and Impact at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I am a settler on Turtle Island, striving to honour the values reflected by the Dish with One Spoon, “taking only what is required” in the way I live and work on the traditional territories of the Anishinabeg, Haudenosaunee, Mississaugas of the Credit, and Huron Wendat nations.

As an Education Researcher, I foster student capacity for intercultural understanding, cultural dexterity, empathy, and mutual respect.
