My research interests are in the field of clinical academic careers and equality. My goals are to contribute to building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive clinician scientist skills pool in Ireland, and explore how strategies to sustain this workforce could be deployed more generally to improve healthcare professionals' training experiences and retention. My Master's thesis was titled "Introduction of an academic track for internship in Ireland: views of undergraduate medical students" and involved an anonymous survey of 4th year medical students as key stakeholders in the development of the AIT. My PhD thesis was titled "An exploration of the role of the clinical academic and strategies to sustain and build the clinical academic workforce". The work comprised a concept analysis of the term "Clinical academic" based on its current use in the scientific literature; an exploration of the professional identity of clinical academics using Repertory Grid Technique, an evaluation of a combined clinical and academic training programme for junior doctors, the academic internship track (AIT), using the CIPP model, and a resumé study investigating the effect of anonymising applications to the AIT on gender balance. Findings arising from these works have been presented and published in international peer reviewed journals and have formed the evidence base for the creation, implementation, and recently, expansion, of the AIT in Ireland. Building on this work, my current research projects include the TCD MED Seed Award- funded IMAJINE study: Intrinsic MotivAtion, Job satisfaction and retention among INtErns. This study explores the effect of protected time (the AIT) on interns' intrinsic motivation, job satisfaction and career goals with the aim of informing strategies to enhance postgraduate training experiences and retain healthcare professionals in Ireland.
