Dr. Jane Tyerman is an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Health Sciences. She holds dual qualifications in Nursing and Arts, with a 1992 Bachelor of Arts from the University of Ottawa and a 1992 Nursing Diploma from St. Lawrence College. She later earned a BScN (2007) from Athabasca University, an MScN in Nursing (2009) and a Doctorate of Nursing (2014) from Queen’s University. Her career spans over 25 years in clinical practice across critical care, medical-surgical, and psychiatric settings, alongside 15 years in clinical simulation design, facilitation, and evaluation.
Education highlights include specialized simulation courses developed for organizations such as the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) and the Canadian Alliance of Nurse Educators in Simulation (CAN-Sim). Her research focuses on two primary areas: (1) advancing simulation and virtual gaming tools to enhance nurses’ clinical skills, and (2) neurofeedback interventions for post-cancer cognitive impairment, fatigue, and chronic conditions like stress, anxiety, migraines, and chronic pain. She has pioneered virtual simulations addressing LGBTQI2S care, cultural humility, and palliative care for elderly cardiac patients.
In 2019, she received the CASN Excellence in Nursing Teaching Award for her work integrating innovative simulations. Her recent articles explore virtual poverty simulations, bipolar disorder care scenarios, and neurofeedback feasibility studies. She actively collaborates with organizations such as the Ontario Simulation Alliance (OSA) and the International Association of Nurses for Clinical Simulation and Learning (IACN), contributing to interprofessional education initiatives and technology-driven healthcare pedagogy.
