In 2021, she assumed the role of Director of Clinical Teaching at Royal Perth Hospital alongside her clinical responsibilities, serving on the Postgraduate Medical Council of Western Australia Accreditation and Standards Committee and contributing to the accreditation of additional intern positions for Curtin Medical School's inaugural graduating cohort.
Dr Allam-Whelan's teaching excellence is evident in her bedside instruction during morning rounds, tailored to patient cases and physical exams for maximum engagement. She has introduced sub-specialty teaching by external doctors for junior medical officers and delivers sessions at intern and resident medical officer orientations while coordinating the state-wide RMO Step Up Leadership program. Key initiatives include founding SPHERE (Supporting Parenthood in Healthcare - Entitlements, Resources and Education), advocating for improved mothers’ room access at Royal Perth Hospital, and authoring a parental leave resource pack. Her efforts in mentoring, innovation, junior doctor wellbeing, and time generosity earned her Western Australia's 2021 Clinical Educator of the Year award and the national 2021 CPMEC Clinical Educator of the Year honor, presented at the 25th ANZPMEF conference. She has also represented the Royal Australasian College of Physicians on the Postgraduate Medical Council of Western Australia.
