Her “Learning by Living” research projects, UNECOM signature programs, advances medical and health professions students’ learning through the application of ethnographic/autobiographic immersion research methods.  Learning by Living: Nursing Home Immersion involves “admitting” medical students into nursing homes to live the life of an elder resident for 10-14 days complete with a diagnosis and standard procedures of care.  The Learning by Living: 48 Hour Hospice Home research immerses students into an 18 bed in-patient hospice home to work with an inter-professional team in providing patient care, family support, and post mortem care.  She also conducts research on older adult function, falls, and proprioception.
