 JACQUELINE TORTI, PhD, Assistant ProfessorDr. Torti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Schulich with a Cross-Appointment in Anatomy and Cell Biology. She has an appointment as a Scientist in the Centre for Education Research & Innovation as well as an Affiliate Scientist at the Lawson Health Research Institute. Before joining us at Schulich, Dr. Torti obtained a Bachelor of Physical Education and a Master of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University, followed by a PhD in Public Health Sciences at the University of Alberta. Prior to her faculty appointment Dr. Torti worked as a research consultant and education specialist. Her research is rooted in multiple areas of inquiry. Dr. Torti has explored socio-cultural dimensions of health and wellness, professional identity, character-based leadership and interprofessional teamwork across multiple domains. As her research program continues to evolve, Dr. Torti has married her previous involvement in public health with her growing expertise in medical education. Dr. Torti’s earlier work in public health uniquely positions her to study psychosocial elements of healthcare professionals’ learning and practice environments. More specifically, her research is exploring how character influences teamwork and well-being among interdisciplinary health care teams and, ultimately, its effect on patient care. The epistemological integration of sociobehavioural sciences and the culture of medicine is key to understanding these interactions.
