  • ORCID: 0000-0002-4773-201X
  • Research and Teaching Interests: Nicole’s research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of education, race and ethnicity, immigration, and social inequality. As a trained sociologist, she looks forward to applying frameworks and theories rooted in sociology of race and ethnicity to medical education. Currently, she is working on a project that focuses on the identities of Latinx leaders that are involved with STEM pipeline programs to increase access and persistence among Latinx students. She has also contributed to numerous projects that center the role of family throughout student’s postsecondary experiences. In future research she will focus on undocumented Latinx young adults pursuing health professions to further understand how they navigate intersectional identities throughout their personal and professional lives.

Research interests focus on simulation-based assessments: (1) promoting and assessing clinical reasoning through SP encounters (exploring methods to assess clinical reasoning through post-encounter notes and promoting clinical reasoning while teaching and assessing physical exam skills via a hypothesis-driven physical exam); (2) setting pass/fail cut scores for simulation-based assessments, especially in mastery-learning environments (How does benchmark performance information provided to judges need to be modified for a repeated-testing mastery environment? What is the impact on standard setting judgments of different benchmark information, or other evidence-based information?); and (3) improving SP checklist and rating scale design by focusing on high-salience items for a given purpose (for example clinically discriminating items or high salience communication items).
