Rate My Professor Betty Exintaris

Her research focuses on urogenital physiology and pharmacology, including intracellular mechanisms underlying spontaneous electrical and contractile activity in prostate gland and urinary tract smooth muscle, and the modulating effects of autonomic and sensory nerves. Key projects encompass integrating objective structured practical examinations, mapping antimicrobial education across health disciplines, and developing teamwork curricula. Selected publications include 'A pilot trial of objective structured practical examinations (OSPEs) in non-vocational science-based degrees' (2025, Innovations in Education and Teaching International), 'The impact of generative AI on health professional education: A systematic review' (2025, Medical Education), 'Age-Dependent Effects of Oxytocin and Oxytocin Receptor Antagonists on Bladder Contractions' (2024, Biomedicines), and contributions to international research training grants on male reproductive disorders. Exintaris has earned prestigious awards such as the ASCEPT Gillian Shenfield Award (2018), Faculty Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2019), Faculty Award for Programs that Enhance Learning (2020, 2024), ASCEPT Elizabeth Davis Teaching Excellence Award (2022), Monash Vice-Chancellor's Citation (2022), and Lecturer of the Year from the Monash Student Parkville Association ten times. She co-created the PIES program for international student engagement, serves as a Director on the ASCEPT board, and co-chairs the national urogenital and gut interest group.
