Key publications in the Journal of Dental Education include: 'Intraprofessional, Team-Based Treatment Planning for Oral Health Students in the Comprehensive Care Clinic' (2012, co-authored); 'Measuring Team-Based Interprofessional Education Outcomes in Clinical Dentistry: Psychometric Evaluation of a New Scale at an Australian Dental School' (2015); 'An Investigation into Patient Non-Attendance and Use of a Short Message Service Reminder at a University Dental Clinic' (2016); 'A 3-year quantitative evaluation of interprofessional team-based clinical education at an Australian dental school' (2022); and 'A 3-year qualitative evaluation of interprofessional team-based clinical education at an Australian dental school' (2023). These works examine student perceptions, educational outcomes, and clinical efficiencies in dental training programs.
