I am pleased to announce the appointment of Lindsay Anderson as the Director of Clinical and Experiential Learning effective April 23rd, 2018.
Lindsay brings experience within the Ontario and Albertan postsecondary education systems, as well as a diverse clinical expertise in nursing. In particular, Lindsay has held nursing positions at North York General Hospital (Emergency Department), Foothills Medical Centre (Trauma Centre) and as a Public Health Nurse, providing care to marginalized populations in Alberta. As an educator, Lindsay held part-time and full-time teaching and clinical instructor positions in the nursing programs at Mount Royal University and Columbia College in Alberta, as well as held a part-time teaching position at Sheridan College. Most recently, Lindsay has been a full-time faculty member at Humber College, teaching within the Bachelor of Nursing degree program.
As a committed life-long learner, Lindsay completed her undergraduate Honours BSc. degree in Nursing from York University, and is currently completing her doctoral studies focused on Leadership in Nursing. Her dissertation focused on elucidating the influence of authentic leadership on nursing students’ experience of workplace bullying during preceptorship.
The Director position is a new position we are welcoming to the Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies, and reaffirms the leadership team’s commitment to our Faculty’s strategic plan. As previously highlighted, the Director will be working in collaboration with faculty, staff and administration to maintain and expand our programs’ high-quality experiential learning opportunities (e.g., field placements), as well as the on campus clinical spaces at the Davis Campus.
Please join me in welcoming Lindsay Anderson to our Faculty!
