About
Nancy Posel is a pioneering force in medical education, with a career dedicated to transforming how future clinicians learn and collaborate. Her research centers on surgical education, the integration of digital and extended reality (XR) simulators, and the development of innovative online tools for career orientation and knowledge translation. A key contribution is her leadership in the pan-Canadian virtual patient initiative, which fosters inter-institutional collaboration to create shared, high-fidelity learning resources. Her work rigorously evaluates the impact of these technologies, from assessing a bilingual career orientation tool’s effect on medical students to examining how digital scribes and generative AI can be balanced with core skill development. With her most-cited work, a 2025 bibliometric study on 25 years of Canadian plastic surgery research, already garnering attention, Posel’s influence is clear. She has also advanced near-peer tutoring models and explored the utility of specialized platforms like LearnENT. By consistently measuring the efficacy of educational interventions—from TikTok content quality to robotic surgery training—Posel ensures that innovation is always grounded in evidence, making her a vital architect of modern, technology-enhanced medical curricula.
