Brad Hurren

I joined the Academy in 2017 and am incredibly excited to be a member of the Executive. I am a Professional Practice Fellow in Anatomy at the University of Otago, and have been teaching into science and professional courses like medicine and physiotherapy since 2004. My teaching philosophy is centred around inclusiveness and achievement for all students alongside support and mentoring for colleagues that are interested in education and enhancing the student learning experience.  

Although new to the Academy and the Executive, I already feel a very strong sense of community within the group. However, prior to becoming a member I had little knowledge of the existence of this group and the inspirational educators that are part of it and the expertise they could share. My aim as a member of the Academy Executive would be draw more attention to the collective experience and skillsets offered by our members and further enhance the sharing of ideas and collaboration within our group and the stakeholders in the wider education community.
