Dr. Kelly Lackie PhD RN CCSNE is the Associate Director, Simulation-based Education & Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Assistant Professor at Dalhousie University School of Nursing, an Affiliate Scientist at Nova Scotia Health, and cross-appointed to the Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University. Dr. Lackie’s program of research is situated in the discipline of interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP), examining the interrelated fields of simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE), psychological safety, and equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. Dr. Lackie recently completed the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate course at Cornell University to build a solid foundation for the examination of EDIA in IPE. She is currently leading two grants to further study these concepts: a narrative inquiry, using an EDIA lens, to examine psychological safety in Sim-IPE from the perspectives of students, educators, and SPs; and a scoping review to explore the knowledge, skills, and abilities/attitudes necessary to facilitate psychologically safe IPE. She received a Teaching and Learning Enhancement grant to lead the development of an asynchronous online course, which launched in May 2023, to teach educators and simulated participants (SPs) how to establish psychologically safe simulation for students. Dr. Lackie has several peer-reviewed publications and has presented at numerous scientific conferences provincially, nationally, and internationally. The impact of her work is far-reaching, underpinning the importance of student psychological safety so they can engage in, question, and/or challenge historical ethnocentric, Western, and colonial dominance in the interprofessional learning environment.
