This interpretive phenomenological study reports on the findings from in-depth interviews of 38 final year medical students who had experienced a significant academic interruption and follows their process of working through failure and their transition from academic failure to becoming a junior doctor.

She is a multi-award winning teacher, past academic lead in selection for medicine and dentistry and was the Associate Dean of Education across Health at UWA from 2010-2016. Sandra is a mixed methods researcher with more than 60 publications exploring selection, curriculum development, learning and teaching, assessment and evaluation of course outcomes. Her PhD in medical education focused on predicting performance of junior doctors, exploring selection, personal characteristics and academic performance.
