As an emergency medicine physician, Associate Residency Program Director, and Director of Simulation Education at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, her clinical and research interests focus on advancing graduate medical education through simulation-based training, competency assessment, and educational innovation. Dr. Parsons work emphasizes the use of simulation to improve clinical reasoning, resuscitation skills, interprofessional teamwork, and communication in high-acuity clinical settings. She has a particular interest in simulation-based procedural training, including the development of curricula that incorporate deliberate practice, structured feedback, and competency-based assessment to improve procedural proficiency and learner confidence, particularly for high-acuity, low-frequency procedures. Her scholarly activities also focus on curriculum development, simulation-based assessment and remediation, clinical event debriefing, and interdisciplinary training. Additional interests include exploring the integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, into medical education. Through educational leadership and research, she aim to strengthen physician training, promote effective team-based care, and translate educational advances into improved clinical performance and patient outcomes.
