Pamela Lamb, PhD
IHSE Postdoctoral Fellow
Supervisor: Yvonne Steinert, PhD
Title: In the Spirit of Complementarity: Bridging Clinical Practice with Interdisciplinary Research in Health Professions Education

Pamela Lamb is a qualitative health researcher and former registered nurse with specializations in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery and community health. She received a PhD in Educational Studies from º«¹úÂãÎè (2023). Her dissertation examined the impact of participatory arts-based research on audiences, focusing on affective engagement as a key factor in shaping attitudinal and behavioral change. She developed a practice framework forÌýaffective reflexivity—a discursive approach that parses affect and emotion to better understand ‘knowing differently by feeling differently.’ Her current research interests in medical humanities, applied to health professions education and practice, is informed by her interdisciplinary background in nursing, women’s studies, communication studies, and educational studies. Her postdoctoral research explores the values-practice gap in compassionate care; specifically, what encourages and what inhibits clinicians’ capacity to demonstrate compassionate care towards themselves and their patients. She is supervised by Dr. Yvonne Steinert, Professor of Family Medicine and Health Sciences Education at the Institute of Health Sciences Education.
