Leanne Picketts has worked in medical/health education since 2005. She holds a Master of Education in Curriculum Studies; her thesis focused on exploring the patient-centered curriculum within undergraduate medicine at 鶹. Since 2011 Leanne has been a simulated patient educator with the Centre for Collaborative Clinical Learning and Research at 鶹, and part of her work includes curriculum development for the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Health. From 2022 to 2024, she worked in collaboration with the Case Diversification Committee to review and revise case-based learning tutorial cases to include principles of anti-oppression, including equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. This included reviewing and writing content for inclusive language, patient-centeredness, and updating clinical care frameworks (e.g. structural determinants of health; inclusive care for patients with disabilities; affirming care for sexual orientation and gender identity).
