Associate Professor Loretta Garvey was involved in the establishment of the Bachelor of Nursing program at Swinburne University, where she utilised her expertise to develop an active learning curriculum in undergraduate nurse education. Previously, Loretta served as the Assessment Coordinator in Nursing and Midwifery at Monash University and taught acute medical surgical nursing. This worked aligns with her research focus on active learning in higher education through the flipped classroom and blended learning. Loretta is also passionate about research and implementation of innovations in assessment which aligns with her role at Federation as the Assessment Transformation Lead for the university. Loretta’s honours research focused on the factors that influence Graduate Nurses' decisions to initiate medication and her current clinical areas of research are focused in the areas of mental health and aged care. Previously, Loretta coordinated assessment and clinical skills education for the campus-based years of the Monash Medical Doctorate (MD) which led to her PhD research exploring the readiness of year 1 and 2 MD students to engage in problem-based learning.
