Foo Yang Yann has a PhD in Education and uses different theoretical frameworks and qualitative methodologies to explore wicked problems in health professions education research. Some of her recent works include identifying interprofessional collaboration barriers and facilitators using the lens of networked ecological systems theory, and evaluating how faculty development programmes underpinned by frameworks such as transformative learning theory can catalyse practice change. One of her current projects looks at how to facilitate student acceptance and use of feedback. This project is sponsored by Singapore Ministry of Education’s Tertiary Research Fund grant.
