Doctoral Candidate, Health Professional Education Elborn College, Room 2200 Research interests: health professional education; health professional practice; professional learning; continuing professional development; reflective practice; speech-language pathology; head and neck cancer rehabilitation; quality of life; qualitative research. Marie-Ève is a certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)
who graduated from the University of Montreal in 2002. Marie-Ève has worked clinically serving both
pediatric and adult patients in both private and hospital settings. Her
clinical expertise and interests relate to speech processes particularly
with respect to articulation, fluency, voice and resonance. Over the past years, she has worked in craniofacial and
cleft-palate clinics and in a surgical department where she served those
with voice disorders and laryngeal cancer; it was in such settings where she
experienced and benefited from interprofessional collaboration. Marie-Ève
also has been a supervisor for SLP students and was involved in learning
communities. A strong interest in continuing professional development,
education and teaching has led Marie-Ève to become interested in the broad area
of health professional education, particularly reflective practice. Her research
seeks to understand the process of reflection as it relates to the development
of professional knowledge in everyday SLP practice within the context of head
and neck cancer rehabilitation. The hypothesis is that reflective processes
used by health-care practitioners contribute to professional knowledge in ways
that are often implicit or taken-for-granted. It is expected that Marie-Ève’s
research will produce a theoretical model that will make reflective processed
more explicit and thus contribute to a better understanding of the capacity of RP
to generate significant individual and collective disciplinary knowledge. Such
model may also enhance the capacity of practitioners to use RP to develop
professional knowledge, and in turn influence the quality of care provided to
patients with head and neck cancer. Moreover, by contributing to knowledge
about how RP is implicated in the generation of professional knowledge, this
research contributes to an emerging body of empirical research on RP, with
potential implications across the health professions. It is Marie-Ève’s hope
that reflective practice will one day be recognized as a legitimate means of
contributing to the individual and collective knowledge base of SLP
practitioners. Peer-Reviewed Publications: Caty, M.E., Kinsella, E. A. & Doyle, P. (2009). Linking
