Associate Professor John Rae serves as Head of the School of Dentistry and Medical Sciences at Charles Sturt University since July 2021, following over a decade as Senior Lecturer in Health Management and Leadership and prior service as Associate Head of Biomedical Sciences. His career bridges academic leadership and clinical healthcare systems, with extensive experience in regional New South Wales health services.
His educational credentials include a PhD, Master of Education (Honors), Master of Health Services Management, Bachelor of Education, and multiple health-related diplomas. This interdisciplinary foundation informs his scholarly approach.
Rae's research critically examines intersections between higher education and healthcare delivery through qualitative and arts-based methodologies. Key focus areas include mental health service innovation, paramedic safety, telehealth implementation, and creative approaches to professional identity development. His work consistently challenges conventional pedagogy by integrating artistic practices to enhance organizational effectiveness in health contexts.
Analysis of his 2020-2024 publications reveals dominant themes in emergency medical services safety (particularly paramedic experiences of racism and mental health crises), community pharmacy mental health support, and arts-based educational interventions like Virtual Art Snacks. His methodology favors scoping reviews and arts-informed inquiry to address systemic challenges in health education and service delivery.
