Congratulations to Paul Kane on his Associate Fellowship with ANZAHPE.

Paul is a Radiation Therapist and has worked in health professional education for over 20 years. He is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Radiation Therapy, University of Otago Wellington. He is also the New Zealand Deputy Editor for the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, the Australia and New Zealand journal for Medical Imaging, Radiation Therapy and Nuclear Medicine.

Paul’s scholarly work has resulted in publications across several areas of health professional education such as simulation, assessment and technology for teaching and learning. He is currently part of a large health professional educator team investigating unacceptable behaviours experienced by students while on clinical placement. Paul has also recently submitted his PhD thesis which explored theoretical principles to guide radiation therapy curriculum.

“As a health professional and educator, I have always enjoyed working in teams and as part of a community. I attended my first ANZAHPE conference a couple of years ago. I was so enamoured by the experience that I want to take every opportunity to engage with this amazing organisation and its members. Associate Fellowship will allow me opportunities to both learn more about and support others in the practice and research of health professional education.”
