Jacqueline Raymond

Associate Professor Jacqueline Raymond serves as the Program Director for the Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology) in the School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. With a background in Human Movement Studies, Public Health, and a PhD, she has established herself as a leading academic in clinical exercise science and work-integrated learning.

Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Movement, Postgraduate Diploma in Public Health, and a PhD. Her career has focused on bridging clinical practice with academic training, particularly in the field of exercise physiology.

Associate Professor Raymond's research interests span clinical exercise science and work-integrated learning, with current focus on assessment of student performance during clinical placements. Her work addresses critical issues in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and healthy aging, contributing significantly to both academic knowledge and practical applications in healthcare settings. Her research demonstrates how exercise physiology can be effectively integrated into mental health sector placements and community health programs.

Her publications showcase a strong emphasis on educational assessment, clinical competency development, and interprofessional learning. Raymond has contributed extensively to understanding how exercise physiology students develop clinical skills, with particular attention to assessment methodologies and workplace readiness. Her work also explores specialized areas such as ankle rehabilitation, neuromuscular disorders like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and the application of exercise science in rural and underserved communities.

Associate Professor Raymond has received multiple research grants supporting her work, including projects on interprofessional learning resources, competency assessment tools, and specialized training programs for exercise physiology students. Her grant portfolio demonstrates sustained research activity and significant contributions to her field.

She supervises research students, including Gretel EVANS who is investigating how allied health clinical educators develop and enact expertise. Her mentorship extends to numerous collaborative projects across multiple healthcare disciplines.

Her work has established important connections between academic training and clinical practice, particularly in preparing exercise physiology students for placements in mental health sectors and developing core clinical learning competencies for Australian exercise physiology students.
