Dr. Sarah McLean received her undergraduate degree from the University of Waterloo and her Doctorate from Western. Dr. McLean began her career at Western in the laboratory of Dr. John Di Guglielmo, where she worked on signalling pathways involved in non-small cell lung cancer. Dr. McLean is thrilled to be pursuing her passion for teaching and educational scholarship in the BMSUE program. Dr. McLean’s teaching began at the University of Waterloo and expanded for both small and large group teaching while at Western, incorporating novel web-based applications including Twitter, as well as animations, video and study guides. Dr. McLean's primary responsibilities are the management, teaching and development of advanced level interdisciplinary medical sciences courses. Developed courses will be incorporated into the Honors Specialization in Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) module, which represents 40% of the student enrolment in the BMSc Program. An enthusiastic and innovative educator, Dr. McLean will also be an e-learning resource person to the basic medical science departments for the use of online and e-learning methodologies in undergraduate courses.
