She has been part of the first wave in many important developments in her 40-years in medicine; first wave of PEM physicians in Australia, the first wave of APLS instructors, the wave of PEM POCUS teachers. She introduced scenario-based training and helped bring APLS to New Zealand, Vietnam and Russia.
