Rate My Professor Niki Newman

Newman's academic background includes advanced training such as the Boston Children's Hospital Simulator Program, Paediatric Simulation Instructors Workshop in Auckland (2012), and ESME Certificate in Medical Education (2017). Her research specializations lie in simulation-based medical education, clinical skills teaching, and innovative tools like smartphone apps for medical students. Key publications include 'Usability and global reach of a 'Just-in-Time' clinical skills app for medical student education' (Newman et al., 2025, Proceedings of the 10th International Clinical Skills Conference), 'Consent to medical student teaching: an observational, cross-sectional study exploring the patient view' (Newman et al., 2024, BMC Medical Education; also ICSC 2025), 'Final year medical students simulated on-call programme: Can simulation-based education build resilience in junior doctors?' (Mortlock et al., 2025, ICSC), and presentations such as 'Development of an app-based learning tool for medical students to access local clinical skills resources' (Newman & Sim, 2024, NZASH Conference). Earlier work includes her MPH thesis 'Childhood obesity: do primary schools have a role in prevention?' (2007). Through her leadership, Newman significantly influences medical education at UOC by integrating simulation technologies and fostering professional skills development.
