Laura Di Michele

Laura Di Michele is the Program Director of the Master of Medical Imaging Science at the Sydney School of Health Sciences, University of Sydney. Her academic contributions focus on advancing medical education, particularly within diagnostic radiography, emphasizing evidence-based practice (EBP), knowledge translation, and clinical ethics. She leads initiatives to improve healthcare professional training through innovative curricula and interprofessional collaboration. Laura’s research also addresses challenges in international student mobility and the role of simulation-based education in clinical preparation.

Her work explores the intersection of research and clinical practice, aiming to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world healthcare applications. Key themes include EBP implementation strategies, radiography program internationalization, and the development of interactive ethics resources for health science students. Laura has collaborated on grants related to ethical practice in healthcare education and knowledge translation in diagnostic imaging.

Selected grants include:

• "Leadership in Ethical Practice" (2017) — University of Sydney/Educational Innovation Grant
• "Enhancing ethical practice during professional placements" (2016) — DVC Education/Large Educational Innovation Grant
• "The translation of research findings into evidence based practice within diagnostic radiography in Australia" (2020) — Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy/Research Scholarship

Her research and educational efforts highlight a commitment to interprofessional ethics training, culturally competent radiography education, and leveraging technology to enhance learning outcomes. Despite no formal advisees listed, her collaborative projects suggest active mentorship roles in medical imaging and health professional education.
