Marie-Soleil Beaudoin

Marie-Soleil Beaudoin is a Senior Instructor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Dalhousie University's Faculty of Medicine. She holds expertise in teaching and learning methodologies, particularly in physiology education. Her roles include teaching undergraduate courses such as Human Physiology I/II, Exercise Physiology, and contributing to medical education programs.

• Educations:
• B.Sc. Biology (McGill University)
• M.Sc. Human Health and Nutritional Sciences (University of Guelph)
• Ph.D. Human Health and Nutritional Sciences (University of Guelph)
• Master of Educational Technology (University of British Columbia, in progress)

Her research focuses on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), emphasizing self-regulated learning strategies in first-year students, particularly in online and blended learning environments. She explores active learning techniques and adapts pedagogical approaches to digital contexts, including those necessitated by pandemic-related challenges. Her work bridges physiology education with innovative instructional design.

Publications highlight her earlier work in metabolic physiology, investigating caffeine's effects on glucose tolerance, resveratrol's role in metabolic disorders, and pharmacological interventions in diabetes models. Though recent work leans toward education innovation, her earlier contributions span nutritional biochemistry and metabolic disease mechanisms.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed. She contributes to curriculum development and interdisciplinary educational initiatives within the Faculty of Medicine.
